Hello, I’m Jin, and I’m studying in Almeria, Spain. I have been living in Almeria as an exchange student since August 2021. I majored in Spanish since I was a highschool student, so it was a dream to live in a Spanish country. I would like to introduce you to what it was like when that dream-like thing actually happened, and what kind of city is Almeria, where I live now. Almeria is a city in Andalucia, Spain. It is a Spanish city that I first knew while preparing for an exchange student despite my major in Spanish studies. The Andalusian region was the longest-held territory when Islamic forces ruled Spain. Therefore, it is famous for its unique architectural and cultural style mixed with Islam and Catholicism. In fact, when I first arrived in Almeria, I felt that it was neither Spanish nor Islamic. The reason is that Almeria is a famous resort by sea. The first impression of Almeria was the palm trees all over the city, the poorly laid concrete floors, and the sparkling sea. I can organize it like this. For me, who had a vague fantasy of a “European city,” the scenery of Almeria was nothing […]
The first exhibition Rock´n´Roll Raiders World Tour will be held in February 2022 at the WiZink Center in Madrid, a venue where blockbuster artists like AC/DC, Muse, U2, Metallica and Bruce Springsteen have performed. His next exhibitions will be in Seoul in South Korea, Shanghai, Paris, Hong Kong, Miami and Tokyo, cities where, once again, Abdul Vas will unleash the power of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Rock’n’Roll Raiders is a multidisciplinary exhibition featuring large-format works that will be staged as if it were a rock concert. In these new paintings Abdul Vas presents a series of portraits of AC/DC, combining his obsessions with NASCAR racing and the music of AC/DC to transmit all the energy and euphoria experienced at rock’n’roll concerts through his paintings. Painting is where Vas exhibits his most precise and serene poetics of power. In it he upholds this surprising medium to channel and process the excessive torrent of images surrounding him in his world, striving to achieve a new conceptualization of classical painting by taking it to the limit of simplification. The way in which the artist brings together individual elements to form a new whole through the juxtaposition of images engenders an unsettling atmosphere that oscillates […]
