John Moores Painting Prize Talk: Francisco Valdes

The Sincere Liar

Join us for this talk on gallery to explore the themes surrounding the shortlisted painting 'Champagne Cascade I', led by Francisco Valdes.

The talk revolves around the multiple stands that a painting can have today, from mysticism to activism or hedonism to propaganda, and the combination between them. The aim is to find the relevance of the practice of painting in a mediatized society where manipulation and fake news are becoming the norm.

Tickets for this talk are £5 and include entry to the exhibition.
