The exhibition at CAC Málaga, entitled Heaven's Temple, features one of the Majorcan artist's most frequently-repeated themes, the human figure, in eleven works on different supports, providing a representative vision of his long and fascinating artistic trajectory and his interest in experimenting with industrial materials.

Heaven's Temple is also the first in a series of exhibitions to be staged at Málaga's former wholesale market as part of a project launched by CAC Málaga and the City Council with the aim of linking avant-garde art and religious tradition. To this end, a different, internationally-known artist will be invited each year to visit Málaga and produce an exhibition on the subject of the city's Easter celebrations.

The installation Procession features images and scenes from Málaga's Holy Week celebrations projected on a screen-curtain made from fibreglass, whilst the two sculptures, Los hilos que te rodean and Sin título (The Threads Around You and Untitled), both produced this year, provide examples of Amador's effigies or bodies created from the very earth.

Heaven's Temple, which gives the show its title, comprises several polyester resin sheets that, attached to each other, cover the exhibition room at CAC Málaga. This is a key work in Amador's overall trajectory in which the artist seeks to immerse the viewer in his universe.
