Art Exhibition: January, Saturday 14th 2017
Dos Exposiciones:
La Antigua Galería de Arte se honra en presentar dos exposiciones para comenzar el ciclo de exposiciones del año 2017.
Pintura
Por un lado el artista guatemalteco Carlos Chávez nos estará presentando su última colección de acrílicos y acuarelas titulada “Migraciones”. La obra de Chávez siempre ha girado en torno al ser humano y sus aflicciones, especialmente las del pueblo indígena de Guatemala y sus necesidades de emigrar, obligando a las familias a dispersarse cómo lo ha testificado la historia. Según Chávez, la idea de esta exposición es imaginar mundos menos imperfectos, que inviten al espectador a cuestionar nuestras realidades y tratar de mejorarlas. Esta exposición anida la esperanza ante tales tribulaciones y como dice el artista, su deseo es provocar “otro tipo de migración ya en el sentido literal, ya en sentido metafórico (migración-transición-cambio) y que nos mueva hacia otros estados físicos o mentales como una mera forma de reinventarnos”.
Escultura
Horario de visita:
Lunes a sábado de 10am a 7pm
Domingo: 12pm a 6pm
Opening Two Exhibits:
La Antigua Galería de Arte is honored to present two alternative exhibits to open the new year´s show season.
Painter
On one hand Guatemalan artist Carlos Chavez will be showing his latest works in a collection he has entitled “Migraciones”. Chavez´s work has always evolved around our human tribulations, especially the plight of the indigenous in Guatemala and their need to migrate as recent past history has testified. This collection invites us to migrate to a less imperfect world, be it physical or metaphorical, real or unreal, as a mere way of reinventing ourselves.
Sculpturist
On the other hand, Scott Stoll, a North American sculptor and resident in the country brings us his latest wooden sculptures in honor of the strong women he has met and admired during his lifetime. This exhibit is entitled “Mujeres Fuertes”. Stoll is attracted to certain forms in nature, he selects the finest woods in the region such as mahogany and conacaste to painstakingly carve his pieces. His work is focused on balance and beauty; his final aim is to awaken our senses to these shapes and forms and engage the viewer in an emotionally sensuous experience.
Visiting hours:
Monday – Saturday: 10am to 7pm
Sunday: 12pm to 6pm
