jaggedart @ PINTA: The Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art Show

jaggedart is delighted to announce that this year we will be exhibiting at PINTA, The Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art Show at Earls Court.

We will be showcasing work by three artists, Ricardo Cinalli (Argentina), Livia Marin (Chile) and Francisca Prieto (Chile).

Ricardo Cinalli is an Argentinean artist based in London, who creates timeless drawings and paintings of human and natural forms fusing his contemporary practice with a distinctive neo-Classical style. He captures the emotions as well as the form of his subjects with great dexterity and insight. He has exhibited at jaggedart since its inception as well as exhibiting internationally. Ricardo has worked on several major commissions including a vast fresco in the new Capella e Chiessa di Santa Maria della Misericordia, Terni, Umbria, Italy, in 2008. He has work in major public and private collections around the world.

Livia Marin transforms readymade crockery, altering the scale and placement of the decorative pattern, to create small scale sculptural objects that explore questions about value and culture. Her works are often displayed in series evoking comparisons to the mass production of objects, yet highlighting the beauty and individuality of her unique pieces. Livia trained in Chile before completing her masters at Goldsmiths College, London and has exhibited internationally.

Francisca Prieto deconstructs and reworks carefully selected damaged rare illustrated books and periodicals folding the pages into modular structures to expose the images. The continuing series Between Folds combines this technique, with her experience working as a graphic designer and a continued fascination in typography. Francisca creates a narrative both in the structures used and the conceptual connections through the selections of images and text. Francisca is a Chilean artist who lives and works in London. She trained at Central St Martins and her work is in collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Tate Gallery and the British Library.

PINTA is a unique event in London to discover the best of Contemporary and Modern Latin American Art. Over fifty art galleries from the Americas, Europe and London will be showcasing an exciting range of works by established and emerging Latin American artists. This is an opportunity to experience the sophisticated, international and most distinguished visual art from Latin America through museum-quality works representative of abstract, concrete, neo-concrete, kinetic and conceptual art.

After its first successful edition in London in 2010, and five editions in New York City, PINTA is back in London from 7 - 10 June 2012.
