The exhibition is proposed is a classic retrospective, in the sense that strong points and moments of wide production of Luis Gordillo listed (Seville, 1934) to establish a route in which most of his creative periods are addressed, and the various means by which counted. Likewise, in his first appearance in Seville, a chronological development grouped by specific rooms that take into account the following stops continues: its automatic drawings in relation to the informalismo; their heads relatives of British pop with tricuatropatas, pedestrians and motorists; drawing as the backbone of its production of the years 70 along with their experiences with the photographic image and seriality for most of the decade; the 80 marked mainly in the series of meanders; the 90 clustered around one of his most important paintings Snow White and the fierce Pollock; the 2000 with new media and techniques experimentations ushering digital, to finish the tour with a new set of heads made in the year 2015. At the same time, a space is dedicated to trying to show how he builds his works from a reconstruction or simulation study.
