Spanish term

de las inquietudes, no solo formales y expresivas sino también

Spanish to English Social Sciences Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting ART
La obra de x es un magnífico exponente de la capacidad de comunicación del arte contemporáneo y, por tanto, de las inquietudes, no solo formales y expresivas sino también intelectuales y sociales.

¿Alguien me puede echar una mano con este parte de la frase?

Gracias de antemano.

the matters/issues with which it (c. art) concerns itself, not only the formal and expressive ones

"inquietudes" is frequently nothing to do with "worries", but just matters of interest

an exploration, not only in the formal and expressive sense, but also social and intellectual.

I like the word exploration instead of the more general-sounding "search".

...of not only formal and expressive issues, but intellectual and social questions as well.

This seems more specific to me and closer to what the original is literally saying.

questions not only of form and expression but also

Since I'm not sure what else your author says, I'm unsure whether the rest would be "questions about the intellect and society" or even "intelligence and society" or "intellectualism and society" or "questions about intellectual and social issues", etc. But since art is usually evaluated in terms of form and expression, I think the meaning of the first part is pretty clear.
