JOSÉ MALDONADO GÓMEZ (Madrid, 1962). "About 3", 1987. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated on the back. Exhibited at ARCO'87. With labels on the back from the Juana Mordó Gallery. Measurements: 200 x 200 cm. José Maldonado Gómez is a self-taught artist who began his artistic career in 1982, without interruption, creating as a painter, illustrator and teacher since then. Although in 1979 he began his professional career by organising a graphic design company project, which would become a company two years later, carrying out important work in graphic and scenographic design for the music industry. He has also worked as a lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Cuenca and at the Instituto Europeo di Design, among other centres, and was a guest DJ at the Ku in Ibiza between 1985 and 1987. Currently, it is worth highlighting his clear commitment to multidisciplinarity, working with music, sound, video, digital image, installations, etc., with a striking interest since 2009 in hybridising painting, drawing, process and concept art and new technologies. His work has been shown in numerous international galleries (Juana Mordo, Denise Van de Velde, etc.), as well as representing Spain in international exhibitions (EXPO Universal 1992, travelling exhibitions in Latin American museums...) and in a large number of exhibitions in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Vilafranca del Penedés, Barcelona, Belgium, Tarragona, Zaragoza, Burgos, Aalst (Belgium), etc. Maldonado's work is also held in important private collections and institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Prospect in Frankfurt, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Lyon (France), the MACBA, etc.
