general PROGRAM
Vangar is a contemporary art gallery founded in December 2018 in Valencia, with the aim of representing and promoting the work of national and international artists. The gallery is committed to emerging and mid-career artists, supporting recent creation, bringing art to new audiences and creating a bridge between museums, institutions, foundations, public and private collections. Founded by Amalio Vanaclocha and initially opened in the Ensanche district of Valencia, from the beginning of 2023 Vangar moved to a new space located in Calle Pedro III el Grande nº 22, in the Ruzafa district of Valencia. In the same year, Elisa Montesinos joins the gallery team as co-director.

Vangar presents at Swab Barcelona 2024 the work of three young Valencian artists, Lara Ordóñez (Castellón, 1995), Claudia Pastomas (Valencia, 1998) and Adrián Jorques (Valencia, 1995). The three artists, representatives of the new generation of Valencian artists, work with abstract languages, each of them experimenting with different non-painting techniques. In the case of Lara Ordóñez, the artist recovers pigmentation techniques used in textile work. Claudia Pastomas works with wood incision and folding, rescuing obsolete craft techniques. Finally, Adrián Jorques transfers pictorial layers to the surface of the canvas using thermal transfers.
