Salvador Cidrás (Vigo, 1968) made a name for himself in the mid 1990s with a series of sculptures and drawings that recorded the uppermost surface of nature. This work was later extended with a range of landscapes (some urban) executed in the form of wooden designs painted in vibrant colours and flat inks.
Since then, his work has been seen far beyond the reaches of his native Galicia, with solo exhibitions such as Nueve Tipos de Encuesta (Espacio UNO, Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid) or collaborative projects such as Bloody Nose/El prisionero Blanco (Main Gallery CGU, Los Angeles, California) alongside Vicente Blanco and international exhibitions, such as Collage, (Sparwasser HQ, Berlin) or Transplant-heart. Urban environmental sculpture Project”, (Santiago de Compostela – Helsinki). In all these projects, the artist delves into the relationships between design and architecture as a response to people’s everyday needs: the artificial vs. the natural, the art world vs. reality, as questions of social order that affect the individual and his environment.
Though certain elements of his vocabulary were present in some of his previous work, Cidrás is currently focusing on the reconstruction of alternative cultural trends, reflecting on certain forms of social behaviour through images, whose treatment and use are governed by a powerful experimental drive that leads to a profusion of formats.
