The latest works by Antonio Sosa (Coria del Río, 1952) is on show at Galería Tomás March under the title "El Filo de María". This is Sosa’s first solo show in Valencia after his early steps in the by now historical group formed around the Figura Magazine and the Galería La Máquina Española: the "Grupo de Sevilla". An already long trajectory that has brougt his works to be exhibited in Spanish galleries and institutions as: the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía of Madrid, the Museo de Bellas Artes of Málaga, the Galería Rafael Ortiz of Sevilla, the Galería Berini of Barcelona, Galería Magda Bellotti of Algeciras, Galería Buades of Madrid, Galería Alda Cortez of Lisboa and more recently at the Galería Zellermayer of Berlin.

" Antonio Sosa finds his pieces of truth in a fantasy space, gleaning amidst the ruins of his dreams different sorts of little things that Nabokov calls the "divine details" that glisten and stand as meaningful to him. His works are an amalgam of details, images and scriptures that open the process of self- elucidation.
Sosa knows that the story we tell ourselves no longer makes sense and that our relationship to whatever else there is in the world, person or thing, is permeated by mistery, It is a mistery to which he holds although, at he sme time, he he remains unwilling to relinquish the utopian possibilities of human solidarity, accepting nevertheless that human solidarity and self-creation are equally valid but forever incommensurable.
Sosa’s world has always been a complex one, of truths half torn from the ground, of an indebtedness to life experience and the intense battle field of self-doubting. The ego, so often the actor of the artist, is for him a mephistophelean figure that haunts both sun and shade and that only the discipline of centred thinking can overcome."
