Gerard Valls is a Spanish multidisciplinary artist based in Reus, Catalonia, Spain. His practice encompasses artistic jewelry, painting, mural painting, and installation. His avant-garde jewelry is rooted in transgression, sarcasm, and social criticism based on the observation of contemporary social attitudes. A defender of the beauty of imperfection, he uses industrial and recycled materials to break with the rules of traditional jewelry, finding value in the piece as an exclusive and unique art object rather than in the materials used. Valls creates large-volume pieces with aluminum, industrial screws, acrylic, and spray paint, achieving a striking, colorful, and pictorial aesthetic that provokes a direct connection with the various artistic disciplines in which he works.
