IVÁN TOVAR: LE RETOUR

To mark the centenary of André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, the event joins a wider conversation taking place in several museums all over Europe, Latin America and the United States, showing paintings and sculptures by the Dominican artist Iván Tovar – one of the few artists to indulge wholeheartedly in  the pursuit of the marvellous. His works weave together Dominican motifs and the formal language of early 20th-century European art, converging on a single viewpoint which if at first seems to be marginal it proves  to be remarkably privileged.
