VLAB is pleased to present the solo exhibition “TAXÓN DE TAILOR” featuring an enfilade of works by Juan Díaz-Faes that includes different types of mediums such as cement, wood, paper, canvas or skates. The diverse materials are intertwined with the different techniques, highlighting the necessity and the moment of investigation that the artist is living nowadays. 

With an unpretentious approach to creation, Díaz-Faes formulates multiple stories in each one of his works, which are full of characters that he brings to life through his characteristic visual language, defined by bustling patterns, lines and geometric shapes. In total, the exhibition brings together 29 works made in the last two years that includes large format pieces on canvas, such as the “Dios” series; ceramics, with sculptures such as “Fasso”, “Arbusto” or “Robusto”; works on paper, such as “Serura”; or digital NFT works, such as “OVOS”, among other supports and materials. The works become "seeds, possibilities of evolution or research in future works'' in a Sastre's drawer. In the artist's own words (the works) "open doors to future dialogues and creative processes".
