Galer\u00eda RGR was founded by Ricardo Gonz\u00e1lez in Venezuela in 2012 before moving to its current location in Mexico City in 2018. The gallery champions both established and emergent contemporary artists from across the globe, whose practices and research point toward the distinct futures offered by abstractionism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Covering 260 sq m, the gallery space is located in the San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood, in a building previously used as the editorial offices of Mexico\u2019s youth magazine, ERES (1988-2012). Using abstract art as a guiding thread, the gallery unites various artistic fields and lines of thought. Having begun with the representation of key Venezuelan artists of the modern-contemporary art juncture, such as Carlos Cruz-Diez and Jes\u00fas Rafael Soto, the gallery\u2019s evolution has meant a continuous search for fruitful intersections between the present and the near past, expanding beyond geographical limits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Through its exhibition program, Galer\u00eda RGR creates critical dialogues around international contemporary art production, mainly exploring abstraction as the base language, from its roots in the modernist painters and sculptors of the mid-20th century to the most innovative multidisciplinary proposals of our times. Exhibitions include seminal solo shows with artists Carlos Cruz-Diez (2018) and Oswaldo Vigas (2019),\u00a0marking the latter\u2019s first-ever solo show in Mexico. The gallery\u2019s international program represents artists from America, Europe, and Asia; hosting the first Latin American solo shows for artists, including Jeppe Hein (2021) and Ding Yi (2022).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
