Rachel Garrard dedicated herself to painting all her works on the southern coast of Mexico during this pandemic. She devoted herself for a couple of months to get this exhibition supported with a text by Samantha Ozer. It should be noted that although the show would only be about painting, it was decided to present a video that was made on Mexican beaches. It showed aerial drone shots of her large-scale sketch of diagrams and conceptions that she had previously drawn and that included found elements on the shore. This was our first participation in the art week organized by Zona MACO in Mexico City this year and was hosted by Aldo Chaparro in his studio at the Roma Norte neighborhood. - Images: Rachel Garrard "Gateway", 55.90" x 70.08" (142cm x 178cm) ©️ @rachelgarrard @Colector.gallery @zonamaco @samanthaozer @aldochaparro @aldochaparrostudios #RachelGarrard #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #abstractpainting #onlineviewingroom #ZonaMaco #SemanadelarteZM #ZsonaMacoArtweek #CentralStMartins #SamanthaOzer

Today he feels the curiosity to continue investigating other topics and ways of painting, he does not know where this exploration will take, maybe he will go back to where he was before or maybe he will join his previous work. The matter is that Horacio wants to share this because it’s part of his own process, with achievements and mistakes. We all are going to see a lot of rocks in the next months. In the end we are not more than a mixture of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. - Images: Horacio Quiroz, "Carbon 01", oil on canvas, 19.69” x 31.50” (50cm x80cm) © @horacio_quiroz @Colector.gallery #HoracioQuiroz #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #neosurrealism #contemporarypainting #onlineviewingroom #FallingInFear #ondamx #radardelarte #sanpedrograzagarcia

Today is the last day to visit #ExcepcionesNormales at the JUMEX Museum. Do not miss it! The museum closes until 5PM, remember that admission is free. 'Excepciones Normales' focuses on individuals rather than global movements, and includes ignored practices, or inadvertent areas of practice of established artists, which have been important but peripheral to major critical and artistic debates in art history. - Images: Zhivago Duncan, 'Excepciones Normales' exhibition views (2nd floor) © @zhivagoduncan @museojumex #ZhivagoDuncan #MuseoJUMEX #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #ExcepcionesNormales #contemporaryartmuseum #KitHammonds #blackraku #PrimordialSoup #cdmx

It was one year ago today that I saw the light.  Or eleven years ago. 1, 11, 111. It’s all the same, really. I was trying to make sense of something, I don’t quite remember what, trying to weave an elaborate narrative around nonsense. Looking for patterns. I suppose we all do that. We try to find meaning in the meaningless, sense in nonsense. I remember that day – one or eleven or one hundred and eleven years ago — because I was staring into that exact same corner as that exact same ray of light fell slowly down upon it and I was thinking about geometry. Today, something terrible – really awful – happened. Geometry can explain so much with so few rules. It always makes sense. Maybe today I’m thinking about God. I’ve had this nonsensical string of words in my head for weeks now. Before, it was just syntax devoid of semantics. Today it feels sinister. Maybe I’ve just been thinking about it too hard. I found this note on the floor. It looks like my handwriting. uuutlltl / eett hh / ihiduetu / ttilet u / etthttiu / tettttih / tutln i / hihth / e lt ne Now I can’t remember what it means. *text by Brett Schultz for Yautepec Gallery - Images: Aníbal Catalán, "untitled unit until the lit let the litter‘’ exhibition view at Yautepec Gallery in Mexico City 2015, © @anibalcatalanstudio @yautepec_cdmx Photos: Ramiro Chaves & Yautepec Gallery #AnibalCatalan #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #sitespecificinstallation #deconstructivism #Yautepec #Mañanafueotrosia #onlineviewingroom #anibalcatalanstudio #nonobjective

Over the course of the past three years, Duncan has focused his creativity on a multidisciplinary project called When Our Pineal Glands Were Big. Which is composed of a series of sculptures and pictorial works, which study the disturbing existence of the human being and the states of consciousness. Returning once more, the philosophical, metaphysical and, of course, a scientific value between structure and form. "In the entirety of my work, I produce relics that are evidence of different points of existence."

In the boundary line between Design and Art, Aldo Chaparro finds the perfect field to explore and expand the limits that separate the latter from other disciplines, making this border his central theme. As a conceptual artist, his work can be placed in the frontier between pure functionalism and art. The artist combines and edits references from the media-world casting aside notions of past and future, to result in a present filled with simultaneity and entertainment. Quoting and appropriating the work of different artists, and borrowing phrases from pop songs, he creates a staging of words and sentences that surprise for their catchy familiarity on almost invasive, innovative supports, such as neon sculptures or big format texts on walls that shout blasphemies and questions, and allow the viewer to find personal references in the artist’s work. - Images: Aldo Chaparro, "Untitled", acrilyc on linen, 59.06" x 59.06" (150cm x 150cm) © @aldochaparro @colector__ @aldochaparrostudio #AldoChaparro #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #creativelockdown #latinamericanartist #AldoChaparroStudio #insearchoflosttime #àlarecherchedutempsperdu

The work of Melanie McLain does not use dance or choreography, instead it promotes a multidirectional communication between sculptural objects, bodies and the space that contains them. Here the movement is the result of a reaction between all the elements that are located in the place, even without coming into physical contact. For Unchoreographic Sculptures, the artist presents a body of work that invites movement, with cavities that suggest pauses, repositories that invite the body to rest, explore and inhabit them. It is in these transitions that the artist manages to soften the sculptural volumes, their lines and angles; where, despite the change in density, texture and rigidity, the bodies meet, always following their movement and exchanging with each other. - Images: Melanie McLain, "Edge Painting Study 2", acrylic on canvas, 12.00" x 9.05" (30.5cm x 23cm) ©️ @melaniekmclain @abril.the.ape @lacresta______ @colector.gallery #MelanieMcLain #DesdeLaCresta #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #AbrilZales #contemporarysculpture #performance #functionalart #artfonctionnel #EdgePainting

Horacio Quiroz’s work is an exploration of the concept of polarity inspired by the texts of hermetic philosophy of The Kybalion, Carl Jung and the Tao. He uses the human body as a tool for representing movement and change. It is through the body that we are learning to “be human” since we are constituted as beings by polarity itself, the flesh, the visible, the tangible and the spirit, invisible and intangible. His oil paintings bend and contort the body with both delicate and disconcerting results. The Mexico City-based artist began his career as an artist after spending several years in advertising. Since 2013, the artist has been attempting to “explore the oscillation between love and fear as primary antagonistic vital forces, using the human body as a tool to represent the constant movement of our reality.” - Images: Horacio Quiroz, "Same Dark Places", oil on canvas, 19.69" x 31.50" (50cm x 80cm) © @horacio_quiroz @Colector.gallery #HoracioQuiroz #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #popsurrealism #neosurrealism #contemporarypainting #onlineviewingroom #onlineviewingroom #DisturbinglyLively #FallingInFear

Furzai Futuro by Sofìa Tormenta / Rethink the DESIRE AND THE TRAIL of our routes. Take a pre-existing garment and alter its meaning. Give it the same movement that the body proposes when pouring it and inhabiting it. MAKE THE SHIRT a mobile manifesto, like A POEM THAT WALKS. Let the outside mix with the inside, with the fabric as an ally and as a canvas. Elevate what we feel until it is visible, and give a finding to the person who walks next to us. Sofía Tormenta proposes us to reflect on the desire and the outline of our routes. Make the FURZAI shirt a mobile manifesto, like a poem that goes on. - WHERE ARE OUR STORIES AND OUR TRAVELS RECORDED? THE BODY AND THE SPACE THAT WALKS. - The team is completed by @julietalzua in photography, @tatapersico in video and @ heine.ro in texts, each one contributing magic from their discipline to make a great work together.

Jorge Usán's work is essentially characterized by the value he gives to the material surfaces. His creative process is gradual, laborious, expectant, he places materials that can be altered, exposed to inclement weather, sun, rain and wind. Elements that leave their mark and trace. A creation raised from controlled degradation. In his works, the trace of existence is captured, the drama that it entails, the evolution of things, universal reflections, as well as the transgression of space and time that is the invitation to enter his paintings, spaces created from elements that stand out and they enter, a challenge to transgress the limits. Usán's line of work is experimentation, without limits, creating links with music and the most subtle engineering that provides him with the necessary tools to create a global, round, impressive work, dealing with the space-time interaction between the different planes. of his works, as if they were poems, with verses still unread. - Images: Jorge Usán,  “0.°0” III , acrylic and mix media on felt on carved cedar wood, 35.43" x 23.62" x 2.36" (90cm x 60cm x 6cm) © @jorge.usan @colector.gallery  #JorgeUsan #ColectorMéxico #visioncolector #dtrittus #experimentalart #expanded #minimalism #contemporaryart #blackonblack #ZaragozaEspaña

Zhivago Duncan employs batik to create large-scale paintings that reimagine the creation of the world through visual narratives. Civilization, Catatonic Consciousness and Physics and Fiction are all part of his project When Our Pineal Glands Were Big, a detailed study on the beginning of creation. He creates imaginary worlds whose imagery is drawn from ancient texts and creation myths like the Enûma Elish, the Bible, the Popol Vuh, Nommo mythology and more. Connecting them all together to present a unique story of creation through paintings and ceramics full of maze-like portraits and interconnected geometric signs. Through using myth and religion as a framework Duncan navigates concepts like where we come from and where we are going, as well as what we can control and what we cannot. - Images: Zhivago Duncan, "Emanation" , Dye and beeswax on canvas, 66.92" x 78.74" (1.70m x 2.00m) © @zhivagoduncan @Colector.gallery #ZhivagoDuncan #ColectorMéxico #visionColector #onlineviewingroom #Memetics #antediluvianexistence #TheBookofEnoch #PrimordialSoup #theanthropicarchitecture #MemeticMaps
