This coming May, the Paolo Mejia Art Gallery and Design Studio cordially invites you to attend an art show that will present a contemporaneous introspection into what Mexican Art is today. The gallery will be showing a diverse collection of artwork by internationally/nationally acclaimed artist Diego Marcial Rios. He will be showcasing powerful woodblock prints, multifariously colored watercolor works and traditionally hand-made paper mache masks.

Come pass by the gallery, meet and greet the artist, see the powerfully charged art show and purchase art that will perfectly diversify your art collection at the Paolo Mejia Art Gallery and Design Studio this May. The art show will be up from April 29 – May 26.

Ashwin Nayaranan is a South Bay  artist who works with ink. His idiosyncratic ink work delves into the subconscious mind where one is engrossed in meditative flow of process, similar to the idea of automatic drawing or “doodling”, where the physical body is disconnected from the mind and the subconscious creates a different connection.

Ashwin’s work explores the idea of technological circuitry and networking, and integrate that with his cultural heritage, resulting to a fastidious work of art.

Priscilla Ameneyro is an experimental artist. In this particular piece, she experiments with acrylic medium and dilutes it to create an almost transparent effect for the ground. She then juxtapose the ground with definite elements creating a post-modern vernacular piece. The grouping of elements alludes to an interesting visual and focal point that hints a sublime connotation with playful overtones.

Chico Coelho is a local Bay Area artist and musician who paints in a tantric-like expression. This painting seemingly implies a meditative visual response as one focuses deeply at the piece. The effect of the painting resonates and shifts around resulting to a sensation of a quasi-calm and ineffable euphoric state. This body of work pulses with creative energy.

Chico’s paintings deal with an amalgamation of styles of pointillism and color field technique. He has been exploring with this experimentation and he calls it Dissolution of Fractals.
