    Auf unserer Berliner Ausstellung “Crossed Lines” im Oktober 2023 mit über 20 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus Südamerika und Europa besuchte uns die Ehefrau des ehemaligen Bundeskanzlers Gerhard Schröder, So-yeon Schröder-Kim. Neben der gelungenen Kuration der Ausstellung begeisterte sich Frau Schröder-Kim auch für die Kunstwerke des chilenischen Künstlers Santiago Errazurriz und erwarb zwei seiner Kunstwerke. Der Künstler und ich als ausstellender Galerist wurden vom Ehepaar Schröder eingeladen, die Kunstwerke persönlich zu übergeben und bei einem gemeinsamen Abendessen über verschiedenste Themen aus Kunst, Politik und Gesellschaft zu sprechen. Ein Kunstwerk wurde sofort von Herrn Schröder in seinem Büro aufgehängt. Wir danken dem Ehepaar Schröder für diese Wertschätzung und den sehr angenehmen Austausch! Die Galerie Montero Art Gallery wünscht dem Ehepaar Schröder viel Freude an den Kunstwerken und hofft, sie auf der nächsten Ausstellung wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.

    Crossed Lines

     

    From September 30 to October 14, 2023, the Crossed Lines exhibition offered a platform for artistic dialogue between Germany and Latin America in a former car dealership in Berlin-Kreuzberg. This powerful gathering of artworks offered visitors a unique opportunity to experience the rich diversity and profound reflections of 20 artists operating between these two worlds.

    The exhibits demonstrated the profound changes and developments in the artistic language of both German and Latin American artists. It was clearly visible how the creatives processed the cultural, geographical and social aspects of their respective living environments in their works. Every canvas, sculpture and installation bore traces of the artist's origins and current location. The exhibition offered an impressive insight into the multifaceted relationships between identity, geography and artistic development. Crossed Lines inspired thinking about cultural diversity and the connection between continents.

    In a former car dealership in Berlin-Kreuzberg, a transcontinental dialogue was created that encouraged visitors to explore the interfaces between different cultures and living environments

    Guillermo Lorca: The painter of dreams
    The Chilean artist Guillermo Lorca is known for his large-scale oil paintings loaded with (sur)real narratives and dreamlike sequences, so when we asked what inspired him to become an artist, we weren't surprised when he stated the French artist Gustave Doré (1832-1883).

    The Beginning

     

    Diego Palacios (1983), a Chilean painter, began his career in 2014. Palacios learned to paint on his own as an independent learner. Since then, he has been immersed in the principles and application of painting daily. He is enthralled by the previous masters' creative abilities and carefully analyzes their methods.

    Palacios understood the art scene in Chile, where he had his first brush with painting and worked in an artist friend's workshop. In 2008, he relocated to France, first to Paris and later to the rural regions in the south of France, where he became acquainted with the art scene and learned about new ways of painting.
