Opening art reception at the Naxica Galería de Arte – Mexico City
On Thursday evening, November 12, 2009, I went to the opening reception held at the Naxica Galería de Arte, located on Antonio Caso No. 192 in Colonia Tabacalera. I liked how the Naxica gallery is not located in the Col. Condesa or Col. Polanco and that it is located off Paseo de la Reforma and in el Centro of México City.
This was the first time I had been to the Naxica gallery and I loved the space, the location and of course the artists the Gallery is representing. The building is fabulous with art works on three floors.
The main floor and entry were black & white paintings by hyperrealism Spanish artist: Juan Bautista Nieto. The paintings were divine and I am sure was exhaustive work considering the detail of each painting. I found out that Bautista first studied medicine like his father. But after his father died, Bautista left medicine and started his art career of painting and drawing.

The second floor a collective of various artists, a space full art, such as paintings and sculptors: All first class.
The abstract exhibit titled “First Decade Horizons,” by Canadian artist David Sorensen IS magnificent too. Sorensen was in the gallery and I had the opportunity to meet and speak with him. I found it fascinating to learn that Sorensen lived in Montreal Canada but that he has his art studio in Guadalajara México. Sorensen’s work is original and easy to see why he has not only shown in México and Canada but also in Basel, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Manila and Hong Kong.
Great work at the Naxica Galería de Arte and a must see before exhibits close. Click here to see a slide show of the opening evening reception.
This looks a very cool place to go visit. Is it open to the public? And how much to enter if it is?
Nice blog Jesus.
Thanks Carl Smith. Gary, there is no fee to enter. The only problem was I was not able to obtain the closing date from their web site or flyer.
