CURATED BY OMAR CHACON
Juror: Omar Chacon, Artist
Omar Chacon’s abstract paintings combine geometric and organic elements that build intricate compositions that beckon the viewer to take a closer look. His studio practice incorporates paint pouring on a separate surface and when it is dried it is cut into mosaic-like tiles that then migrate to the canvas. Through this strategy, he invokes concepts of the masses.
Omar Chacon was born in Bogota, Colombia, he is known for his vibrant and dynamic acrylic paintings. He received his BFA from Ringling College and MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute. He is represented in the U.S. by Margaret Thatcher Projects, NY, Fouladi Projects, San Francisco, Robischon Gallery, Denver, and Brunnhofer Galerie (Linz, Austria). His works are in public and private collections nationally and internationally. He currently lives and works in Queens, NY.
