The Botanical Garden of Valencia is a beautiful backdrop to an exhibition of Moving bodies.
The Botanical Gardens is currently presenting/displaying the sculptural exhibition “DEL COLOR AL B/N, pasando por la madera” roughly translated as “OF the COLOR TO the B/N, happening through the wood” by the Valencian artist Luis Creek.
Visit the gardens to see a game of colours, textures and shades that cover all and also emulate and characterize, emblematic personages from the history of the cinema, through moving bodies carved in wood.
