Currently based in Miami, Valentino Urroz works under the name Gross Clinic. His style is built on a mix of self-taught, formal art school, and eventually graffiti. leaning into a world of cartoons, pop culture and caricatures. For Valentino, the message is always more important than the materials, he often finds more freedom in a simple ballpoint pen and copy paper than in expensive art supplies.

Much of his work centers on an anthropomorphic plant named “Plant.” Serving as an alter ego, this character has grown into a visual world that Valentino uses to navigate his own experiences.

With this exhibition, Gross Clinic is marking his first solo show in Southwest Florida. The collection brings together a range of work that tracks his development from early abstract experiments to his current, cohesive practice, offering a look at the growth of his personal visual language.
