Founded by Venezuelan surrealist painter Carlos Solis, Contrapunto is a group of Latino visual artists living in Atlanta or nearby who were brought together through friendship and common creative endeavors. Motivated by a desire to increase the visibility of Latino artists in Georgia and beyond, the group has displayed works in galleries, universities and museums across the U.S. The exhibition “Contrapunto” will showcase the works of Solis and the other core members, Peruvian abstract surrealist painter Pedro Fuertes, Mexican abstract painter Jorge Arcos, Peruvian abstract figurative painter Dora Lopez and Venezuelan tropical pop artist Stanley Bermudez. Guest artists include Alex Mendoza and Claudia Soria. The show will remain on view through Friday, Apr. 24.
