Galería Contempo announced they will be holding their last exhibition of this winter season to be held this Friday, March 10th, with a special double showcase of the art pieces of artists Pipo Brockmann and Luis Espiridion.

Pipo Brockmann

Guillermo ‘Pipo’ Brockmann, is a Mexican painter who grew up watching his mother paint and his father design homes. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.

Pipo’s paintings are usually done on wood using dabs and knives full of impasto color, brushstrokes and dribbles of loose paint. He works in a variety of media on a large non restrictive scale and his style is deliberately abstract with a bold use of colour. The theme varies from dogs, animals, trees, and the human figure.

Luis Espiridion

The sculptural work of Guadalajara-born Luis Espiridion has a deep and playful feeling. An artist with an uninterrupted history of 30 years, his work is very versatile and affects different aspects of three-dimensionality. Espiridion undertook the task of shaping and filling empty spaces through his sculptures, that can be either made of bronze, steel or resin.

His sculptures tend to be expressionistic and his figures seem to be alive: Human figures appear mutilated and challenging gravity. Missing arms, some have holes in their bodies and their patinas evoke the troubled Austrian expressionist painting Egon Schiele. Espiridion sculptures could represent an evolution of the work of Alberto Giacometti who the Mexican sculptor considers his inspiration.

The Gallery is located at Basilio Badillo 252, Colonia Emiliano Zapata. For more information, please call (322) 223-1925 or visit www.galeriacontempo.com.

Richard Bartholomew

General Manager

The Agency Punta de Mita

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."

Sarah Elengorn

Elengorn Realtors

“Vallarta Lifestyles has readers from Punta de Mita to Mismaloya and beyond, so announcing my business, means the positioning and recognition of my agency throughout the region. The contents of the magazine are very interesting, because they provide relevant information about activities in the destination. I am pleased to see it at hotels, restaurants and galleries, but what excites me the most is to see people with their issue in hand. That is really relevant for us.”

Archie’s Wok

“In a meeting that we had with the magazine’s founder, he told us about his dream of making a quality and luxury publication because he was convinced that Puerto Vallarta needed that. For that reason, we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles since its beginnings. These days, our brand is very well positioned thanks to the strategic distribution of the magazine, as it helps us reach more potential customers which is a great benefit for us.”
