The retrospective exhibition on Julio Galán, a young talent of the Mexican painting, was shown in spring 1997. The exhibition, organized together with the Ramis Barquet Gallery of New York, presented an overview from his early stages until 1997.
Galan's painting recreates several worlds. On one hand, the recovery of the Mexican tradition, its history, its popular art, its bright and meaningful colours. On the other, the artist's own universe: his fears, sexuality,myths and deepest desires. All this presented from a contemporary point of view, not without irony and humour.
