Blacklight Art Gallery in Valencia Presents 'The Other Side,' a Collective Show on Alternate Realities
At the Blacklight Art Gallery in Valencia, a group of fifteen artists is displaying their work in an exhibition called THE OTHER SIDE, which runs until December 11, 2026. The show focuses on the idea of duality, highlighting contrasts like what’s seen versus what’s hidden. Each artist brings their own symbolic vision to life through painting and sculpture, crafting spaces where the real, the imaginary, the conscious, and the dreamlike intersect. Their detailed pieces act as pathways into their personal worlds. Among the featured artists are Arol, Ciou, Gema Alvaro, and many others. This exhibition follows the gallery's earlier showcase, Gingles & Gingles: Conversations, which highlighted Irish artist Graham and was reviewed on September 7, 2026.
