About
CHUARD GALLERY
The Gallery focuses on the contemporary visual art. We manage, finance and produce artistic projects in close international cooperation with cultural agents for small groups in Uruguay, Argentina, USA, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Portugal and Italy.
Our plastic arts portfolio is committed to a selected group of established contemporary Latin American artists. We specialize in new drawing, specifically in different stages of artistic careers with special attention to the importance of values in creating forms of varied style techniques. In the same line, the gallery features international photojournalists with a well-known independent career and spreads their artistic works. We choose long exposure and high contrast photographs, with a focus on space and controlled perspective.
The gallery is trying to expand one original metanarrative experience, connecting drawing and photography to an aesthetic referentially significant. Our curatorial profile refers to the form and the monochromy as creators of poetic visual intimacy, irreducible to critical density and strange to the experience dominant in contemporary visual art, which reduces them to a mere “supplementary” use or as a nostalgic return to the modern concept of “truth of materials”.
