    More about the exhibition

    >>>>>>> With RETROSCAPES, Carlos Pez digs into his memories and excerpts the landscapes he has once cruised through. Carlos Pez is from Mexico City and was born in 1971. He cultivates a life-style modeled on a certain image of “la boheme”, a huge sense of friendship and a strong taste for freedom. His studio/home in La Roma neighborhood is a jewel he designed to his own style, but there is nothing he likes more than taking the roads of his beloved country: from Veracruz to the coasts of Oaxaca, through the central highlands of the estate of Jalisco, he loads his minivan with art materials and paints directly in the field. Because he is always on the move, his technique has to adapt: in place of brushes he uses painting rolls. This allows painting both vertically and horizontally and puts up with uneven surfaces.
    The result is a series of colorful abstract paintings on canvas and paper on which the bold marks of paint roll spread in clear shapes. The color palette calls up the 80’s: vibrant oranges, blues and greens cover the canvas with no blend. It is as if Carlos was depicting the many intricate roads he has drove around. His paintings are maps leading to the places you can only reach if you abandon your GPS.


    YAM Galley is an art project located in Central Mexico focusing on contemporary art. Situated in the historical Instituto Allende building (18th Century), the exhibitions stand in stark contrast with the baroque structure in which they are housed, with its bold representation of established and up-and-coming artists from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Canada and France.
