Latin American Galleries Art Fair

The Chilean art fair Ch.ACO is back for its 11th year

Ch.ACO is an art fair devoted to displaying distinctly Chilean artists and art both regionally and internationally. This year the fair managed to showcase formidable talent. Here below are some of my favourites: 

1. Jaime Alvarado, Colour wave, 2019

arteBA: Part Two

While going through the arteBA art fair I collected more artworks than I expected. Hence, the reason I created two posts.This second half is more eclectic than the first but I liked the variety of the subject matter in these works. I think they contrast well and speak to the stature of Latin American and especially Argentinian art which has a large representation here.

arteBA: Part One

The arteBA art fair was founded in 1991 with the vision to bring together Argentine and Latin American art to the forefront of the art market. While it has achieved great success in its promotion of its Argentinian artists it has also put a spotlight on other Latin American artists who may not have accomplished such exposure previously or on their own. This year the fair was held online exclusively much to the disappointment of many. However, nothing could take away from the breadth of talent on display. When you consider the works below, you will see how far the art fair has come along.

Highlights from ZⓢONAMACO

Held in Mexico City, the ZⓢONAMACO art fair puts the spotlight on Latin American art and more. The fair was less politically charged than expected but that may be only due to timing. Next year, ZⓢONAMACO may have something completely different on display. With 160 exhibitors to choose from, it's always difficult to narrow down your favourites but somehow it must get done. Scrolling down through 50 or 100 images is exhausting, even for art lovers. So here, I've selected a few of the works which I thought were interesting or beautiful, and some which I simply wanted to know more about. Everyone has a different approach towards the visual arts. Some people are indifferent. But what it really comes down to is whether it has some sort of impact, aesthetically or otherwise.
