Columbian Artist and Poet, Armando Valero, will join us for an Artist’s Reception and Bilingual Poetry Reading Saturday, September 23rd 6-8pm with South-American-inspired refreshments and music!
Experience Columbian Magical Realism in Valero’s newest body of work where vibrant landscapes and seascapes set the stage for elaborate characters adorned in opulent textiles. Surrounded by everything from horses to fish, Valero’s romantically stylized forms are placed in poetic balance within the systematic compositions.
On the heels of the deeply rooted literary and artistic movement of Magical Realism in Columbia, from Nobel Peace Prize recipient Gabriel Garcia Marquez, to Painter and Sculptor Fernando Botero, Valero’s work is in constant conversation with this deep cultural heritage.
