October News
October brings the slow and gradual opening of many art galleries in Puerto Vallarta that close for the Summer. Our Marina gallery has remained open and is currently showing a wide selection of both paintings and stone and bronze sculpture by a variety of artists, both local and international.
Our Downtown gallery opened on Monday 5th October and is being well visited by locals and tourists alike. The Downtown gallery is currently showing a vibrant, energetic collection of mixed media on canvas paintings by Zimbabwean artist Peter Jeke. Peter’s paintings are charming, graphic and radiate the African sun and light. Totally captivating. Peter began painting at free classes given at a local church. The legendary Zimbabwean artist and sculptor Dominic Benhura saw his work and encouraged him to take art seriously and allow his talent to grow. Peter took his advise and has developed a unique style which holds up well in both the African and North American arena.
See Peter’s paintings at IGGI – International Gallery – Galeria Internacional, 600A Morelos St, Centro, Downtown Puerto Vallarta. Between Corona and Aldama Streets, one block up from the Malecon. Call 322 222 3278 for additional information or directions.
