Calicho Arevalo: Gold Oro Puro

About

Internationally renowned artist and architect from Colombia, Calicho Arevalo is honored to welcome you to his first solo art exhibition. This curated collection will include 20 select pieces planned over his last three years in NYC.

Just as the humpback whale migrates from the south to the north, Calicho from Bogota, Colombia, came to NY to continue his studies in architecture, but the vibrancy and passion of the city developed his intensity for art.

Inspired by the contrast in cultures of Latin America and Northern America. Calicho incorporates inspiration from his people and culture, alongside the stark buildings of opportunity NYC offers. The lushness of Latin fruit, the wildness of Amazonian animals. The bright and vibrant colors of Colombia align cohesively with the direct clean lines of architecture. Calicho expresses the relationship between history and humanity, incorporating indigenous people, and the gold that inspired this collection.

The pieces selected for “GOLD Oro Puro” were inspired by the lust and hunt for gold that inspired travels from all ends of the world to Colombia. The desire and travel for opportunity span eras, races, and nationalities. In this passion, search, hunt for life’s treasure, Calicho has found that humanity, the community is the treasure, the oro puro.
