PRESENTS
PARAISO
September 21st — October 27th
New York, NY —The first edition of Concordia Art Show presents Paraíso—a group exhibit featuring works by artists María Elena Valdés (Puebla), Rodrigo Chapa (Monterrey), Salome Coronel (Quito), and Alex De la Torre (Barranquilla).
Curated by Danielle Juliao, the exhibit taps into a sensitive journey to decode
an amalgam of raw, intricate, warm, unprecedented ideas and visual stories, all connected by one very genuine and recurrent principle – a pursuit of joy, and
how it is approached by Latin artists of different mediums and backgrounds.
By shifting away from the world’s predominant examinations of politics in the region, this exhibition looks to shed light upon Latin America’s quotidian beauty, liberties and complexities.

Concordia is pleased to present Testigos, a solo exhibition featuring recent works by
Colombian painter Alex De La Torre.
Through the exploration of universal themes such as identity, self-preservation, and
ethics, the artist invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationships with inanimate
objects, revealing how they are witnesses of hidden stories and emotions that lie within.
The chosen items depicted in De La Torre’s works subtly allude to his own intimate
moments in his hometown, Barranquilla– a coffee machine that tricks the senses, a fire
extinguisher reflecting the tropics, a switch that questions the ownership of ideas and
their origins. Testigos invites viewers to consider the profound connection between
mundane routines and their surrounding environments.
