Description 

"Keke Vilabelda’s painting evokes the destruction of the space which, time and again, produces cracks from the infrathin; 
the painting functions as a transitory surface, a fragmentary experience, repeatedly forcing the viewer into an active process of construction, assuming the fluidity of the present in a world where the only certainty is movement.
(…) Personally, I am not surprised by the meaning in Vilabelda’s latest paintings, which a few years ago I linked to Tarkovsky’s cinematic universe, where we feel the world sliding past us with blurred edges, our gaze suspended in conflict. 
But I am surprised by the result, which singles out his work and makes it extraordinary, an exercise that truly forces viewers to see his work for themselves and to grasp its dimensions, this image space where seeing stops us from noticing that we’re missing something. In the words of Georges Didi-Huberman, when “seeing is loss”. Painting that outlines many other possible forms."
Excerpt from ‘El Espacio de las Imágenes' by David Barro.


Keke Vilabelda (b. 1986)

The work of Keke Vilabelda focuses on the processes of construction and transformation of the natural landscape and contemporary urban space. 
Through painting, he explores our changing relationship with the environment and new ways of observing it. 
His works are constructed through the interaction of multiple techniques and a wide range of materials, such as cement or acrylic, as well as photographic and digital media, generating a unique but diverse language.

Graduated from UPV in 2009. Master’s in Arts from Central Saint Martins London in 2011. 
He has had solo exhibitions in Spain, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Peru, Poland, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal, and Australia. Additionally, he has participated in important fairs and collective exhibitions in China, Germany, the United States, Italy, France, Portugal, and Switzerland.
He has received numerous awards and grants from institutions, including SAATCHI New Sensations, BMW Ibérica, La Real Academia de San Carlos, the City Council of Valencia, and the Government of Spain. 
He has undertaken residencies at Casa Wabi Oaxaca, Casa Velázquez de Madrid, ZonaSeis México, and Fundación Miró Mallorca.
His work is housed in multiple public and private collections, including IVAM, MOLAA, CDAN, CAAC, Fundación Mainel, and Fundación Cargmignac.
