JOËL MESTRÉ (Castellón de la Plana, 1966) "La cançó de stelarc", 2000. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 80 x 100 cm. With a doctorate in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Joël Mestre belongs to the group of Levantine painters who, during the nineties, developed a surrealist figuration with a literary and critical content. Together with Sicre and Charris, he was part of the exhibition "El muelle de Levante" (1994), which served as the starting point for the so-called Valencian metaphysical painting. Since 2002 Mestre has combined his artistic practice with teaching, as a lecturer at the San Carlos Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia. He has won several prizes in national competitions and grants, has held exhibitions in Spain, Italy, France, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea and the United States and is currently represented in the IVAM in Valencia, the Artium in Vitoria, the CAC in Malaga, the Museum of Teruel, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation and many other important collections, both public and private.
