Art is everything you do with love.
Just wanted to start this post with this phrase,
before explaining what a Tapara is, for those of you wondering.
A gallery, little or big, needs to be all about
quality, that is our premise.
Quality, in this case, has an intrinsic relationship
with the passion of the artist, the power of transformation, attention to
detail and refined execution.
Every single piece we offer in VER, complies with all
of the above.
Our core collection of paintings and sculptures encompasses
important names of Latin American contemporary art; artists with very relevant
and lengthy trajectories.
However, under the same premise of quality, we welcome
new artists that share the exquisite passion of loving what they do.
This is a story about the land where I was born and
friendship.
The Tapara is the product of the Tapara Tree (Crescentia
Cujete), that grows in the tropics and what follows is an artist
inventing a brand new fruit.
From this:
They say true friendship is timeless and is always
where you left it.
I remember a happy curly haired girl with vibrant,
contagious laughter.
She is still there, exactly where I left her, bringing
a new sense of brightness and happiness, through her artistic creations.
From ancestral Hacienda Paya, Aragua State, where
Taparas come from, Venezuela; to USA, where my friend resides and where alchemy
happens; and eventually to Calgary, we welcome Regina Viso-Torres and her
colourful, delicate and exquisitely executed Taparas.
And by the way, art is also whatever makes you happy.
New talent always welcome in our space.
" Art is beauty, the perpetual invention..."
