New Exhibit “A Salto de Mata” by Juan Francisco Yoc
La Antigua Galería de Arte proudly presents “A Salto de Mata” by established Guatemalan artist Juan Francisco Yoc.
He was born in 1960 in Guatemala City and has showing individually in Madrid, Paris, Venice, Washington, Japan, Mexico, and Guatemala. His works can be found in private collections around the globe.
He attended the National School of Fine Arts in Guatemala, where he completed his studies in 1982, has exhibited in various galleries and important events in Guatemala, winning numerous awards. Not satisfied with his art and being extremely perfectionist, Juan Yoc “continues to create and improve” presenting artworks of great intensity and high artistic quality. His many techniques include engraving, acrylic, painting, drawing, and illustration. His works start from a blank space without any preconceived ideas, he goes by intuition, surprise, and improvisation. The oniric symbolism of his paintings, influenced by the Renaissance design, conveys us to a surreal world, making them unique. According to Juan Yoc “our reality is a mixture of painted dreams, like daydreaming.”
In 1991 he moved to Spain where he has made most of his works. For Juan Yoc his painting…is life
The exhibit will open on Saturday, November 23rd, 2019, from 4 pm to 7 pm at La Antigua Galería de Arte, 5a. Avenida Norte #29, La Antigua Guatemala, by the arch.
We look forward to sharing with you his latest works. The artist will attend the opening.
