Current Exhibition

Mexico in Four Voices: | Visions Shaped by Heritage,

Art of the World Gallery is proud to announce its current exhibition, Mexico in Four Voices: Visions Shaped by Heritage, on view through October 2, 2025. This landmark show brings together four of the most distinctive and celebrated voices in contemporary Mexican art: Sergio Hernández, Javier Marín, Karla de Lara, and Amador Montes.
Uniting painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition invites visitors into a vibrant conversation where heritage and innovation intersect. Each artist offers a unique visual language deeply rooted in Mexican culture while speaking to universal themes of identity, transformation, and the human experience.
 
A Quartet of Distinct Voices in Mexican Art
Sergio Hernández, recognized for his masterful integration of indigenous symbolism and richly textured surfaces, reinterprets Mexico’s ancient cosmologies through a contemporary lens. Javier Marín, internationally acclaimed for his monumental figurative sculptures and increasingly recognized for his bold, expressive paintings, explores the human form with raw vitality, merging classical traditions with experimental materials and a painterly sensibility. Karla de Lara, often referred to as the “mother of hyperrealism in Mexico,” creates vivid, emotionally charged works that challenge and expand the boundaries of contemporary realism. Amador Montes, whose poetic imagery draws upon childhood memories, mythology, and nature, builds layered narratives that bridge the intimate and the collective.
Together, these four artists embody the strength, diversity, and global relevance of Mexican art today. Their works, while individually distinct, share a profound respect for craft, an unyielding engagement with cultural identity, and an openness to dialogue between past and present.
