Showing at MACO (see Latino Visions#1 below) by Charro Negro Gallery(http://www.charronegro.com), and simultaneously at the excellent Galería de la SHCP in Mexico City's Centro Histórico, was the exciting Guadalajara-based painter/sculptor Tomás López Rocha. It's interesting that his painting and sculptural styles are quite different, almost to the point of appearing to be the work of different artists. The SHCP show featured paintings, drawings and installations, beautifully hung and lit in a noble (inevitably muralled) space, and unusually I was allowed to take flashless photographs - see below.
