This gallery’s mission is to be a platform for cultural development. Since its establishment in 2014, it has focused its attention on the analysis, discussion and reconsideration of the contemporary painting panorama, both in its conceptual and formal aspects.
Among the artists it represents are both Mexicans and foreigners, whose contribution has been fundamental to the development of the art scene in Mexico City. We encourage meeting spaces to reflect, rethink, dialogue and deepen the field of painting.
It is an independent project that was born in 2019. It is in one of the most iconic neighborhoods of the city, La Lagunilla neighborhood. Its objective is to exhibit, promote, disseminate and be the link between a new sector of collectors and artists who live and document their contexts and the periphery of the big cities.
This year, 2024, they celebrated five years in which we added 25 exhibition projects. Currently, they have a new location in the Roma Sur neighborhood. Among its artists are Critian Aguilar, Uriel Lópex, Itzamna Reyes and Helio Santos. They also collaborate in special projects and art fairs such as Clavo.
