Cachito Vallés Explores Time and Technology at F2 Galería
F2 Galería in Madrid presents 'El más largo viaje', a solo exhibition by Cachito Vallés (Seville, 1986), running until July 17, 2026. The artist's research focuses on space and time through scientific and philosophical lenses. Vallés builds machines that produce imperfect, unique drawings, inspired by Elena Asins and Gerardo Delgado's work at the Centro de Cálculo in the 1970s. His practice blends technology, mechanics, and industry with concepts of time, creation, and knowledge, aiming for a spiritual connection with the viewer. The exhibition title references E. M. Forster's novel 'The Longest Journey', whose cover design Vallés found evocative. Vallés describes his approach as creating 'a series of parallel and constant impulses' for free, subjective readings. His work echoes Dan Flavin, James Turrell, Mark Rothko, Robert Ryman, and Sol LeWitt, seeking the mystical through geometry and abstraction.
