After its TV cycle, Tinta Roja has decided to produce a traveling exhibit to tell the history of tango through painting. So 6 artists were selected from the 36 TV shows, and 3 pieces were obtained from each of them.
Once the artists were chosen, their good disposition enabled us to examine their paintings closely enough to create a collective work that would narrate the history of tango, far from the aesthetical stereotypes often suggested by the genre.
With curator Carlos Pérez Villamil, the public will observe the shaping of characters, places and dance, as well as the diverse forms that continue to emerge in tango poetry. The exhibit invites us to swim in a universe of strokes, colors and the intense life of each piece.
The first exhibit features pieces by Roberto Volta, Cristian Mc. Entire, Guillermo Alió, Carlos Pérez Villamil, Víctor G. Fernández and José María Cornide.
Gonzalo Vivián was born in Cruz Alta (Córdoba). He is an architect / graphic designer / sketch artist. He has been exhibiting his work since 1965, putting on individual shows in Argentina and abroad and also participating in a number of collective displays. His pieces have gone to private collections in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, USA, England, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Israel.
Vivián’s work shows a prevalently nostalgic visual language, one that departs from the here and now. He can take conventional forms to ideal transformation, abstracting the fictitious to highlight that which contains a real effect of communication. A work with such mechanical, constructive stamp, controlled gesture impulses and the restlessness of a spirit that yearns to express itself.
Mixtures color, ink and graphite, creating rich contrasts from the composition and expressive viewpoints. The spirit of tango is present in the work of this artist, who brings us a contemporary nostalgic vision.
TANGUEDADES: A sort of regression charged with renewed sensitivity.

Venue: Av. de Mayo 981, of. 513/514

“Fantastic” art, with paintings purified with "frottage", patinas and lacquer.
His tango drawings combine pastel and ink, aiming to enhance the sensuality and movement of the dance and capture the gray melancholy of Buenos Aires.
Next October 27th the Sharon Art Gallery (Leon, Spain) will hold an art exhibit in tribute to Tango, featuring Faillace as the only Argentinean delegate.
FRIDAFRIDA, the first Tango Art Gallery in Buenos Aires -located on Marcelo T. de Alvear 628, Galeria del Este, shop no. 23- opened May 10th, 2005.
For the very first time, a theme gallery dedicated to Tango opens in Buenos Aires. Only a few blocks from Plaza San Martín opened FRIDAFRIDA, with visual artist Lila Oliva as the director. Lila is a sculptress whose refined work is exclusively centered on the “2X4 rhythm”. After prolonged years of oblivion, our traditional music has found its way up. This trend had previously seen some development abroad; yet in Buenos Aires, only over the last 10 years has the increasing demand brought by the growing tourist influx boosted the development of tango-related galleries, and new shops have opened at an increasing rate. So now, and in view of the evident demand existent in Buenos Aires, the decision was finally made to open an exclusively tango art gallery. The direction was entrusted to Lila Oliva, who for the last 8 years has been a committed curator at the Astor Piazzolla Foundation, where she put together a cycle of Tango exhibits featuring the work of the finest visual artists.
Volta is an Argentine painter born in Río Tercero, Córdoba, in 1946, relocated to Buenos Aires in 1968. He has had numerous exhibits, and received important recognitions throughout his career. His work shows concern for exquisite design and a deep knowledge of the human anatomy. He is involved in a consistent development of his Serie Onírica de Tango Argentino, thanks to which Volta is recognized as an icon in the topic of Tango. His exhibits have been displayed in the Abasto Plaza Hotel, Central Tango and the city of Geneva, Switzerland.
Carlos A. Pérez Villamil is a National School of Fine Arts graduate and a Colon Theater Institute graduate. He took set design classes under Saulo Benavente. His exhibits have been staged by the most prestigious galleries and museums of Argentina. Villamil was a special guest at the Tribute to Carlos Gardel on his 100th Birthday Anniversary in the National Senate, and also at the closing of the 1992 Cultural Cycle, sponsored by the National House of Representatives.
Outside Argentina, Villamil has exhibited his work in Galería del Bosque (Mexico), Galería Unika (Uruguay) and on Finnish television, which shot his paintings for a film on tango.
As an assistant to set designer Saulo Benavente, Villamil worked for productions such as "Un tal Servando Gómez" (Teatro Nacional Cervantes), "Madame Butterfly", "La Bohéme", "Il Tabarro" and "Juana de Arco en la Hoguera" (Colon Theater). He also worked in "Quebracho", directed by R. Wullicher, among other films. Villamil has illustrated books for important publishing houses, like Losada, Kapelusz, Plus Ultra and Tercer Mundo (Colombia).
In EUDEBA he was in charge of the Art Department. He worked for newspapers as prestigious as La Prensa and La Nación, as well as numerous magazines.
As a portrait artist, he stood out for his work in "Caras Conocidas de Buenos Aires". The portraits of Graciela Galán and Jorge Salcedo can be found in the Teatro Nacional Cervantes museum and library.
Villamil designed and produced "Panorama" for the "Tarde en la Siesta" ballet starring Julio Bocca and the Ballet Argentino, staged by the Teatro Municipal de La Plata Coliseo Podestá. The same work was presented at the Luna Park stadium. His pieces have also gone to private collections in Argentina, Mexico and Chile.
His strokes capture, from a very particular point of view, dear figures incrusted in classic tango lyrics such as Madame Ivonne, “for whom the Southern Cross was a sign”, María, “the one with the poor hat and the brown coat”, unrealistic machos from old “malevaje” and the ineludible iconography of Carlos Gardel.
Each piece is enveloped by light, and sometimes by the shadows of the night: the heroines of Celedonio Flores, Cátulo Castillo, Enrique Cadícamo, Homero Manzi, Homero Espósito or Eladia Blázquez have not been affected by the passing of time and are depicted on canvass as seducing, challenging women.
This peculiar artist suggests different moods through his work, where abandonment and loss are captured on a chipped façade and love is embodied by a butterfly that brushes past the forehead of a woman that awaits.
Painter, set designer and sketch artist Pérez Villamil’s work has always been close to Buenos Aires and especially to Tango.
He has recently toured Europe presenting part of his work in Italian and French galleries. The highest acclaim was obtained in Galicia, where the critics praised his “confident stroke, made of magic and melancholy”.

Handicrafts in Pewter - Pasquetti Family - Tango Argentino Collection
The Pasquettis’ pewter handicrafts are unique pieces, conceived within the magical, natural framework of San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro. Each piece comes from an exclusive handmade clay sculpture that serves as a mould. That is where they pour the pewter, a material containing 95% pure tin, 4% antimony and 1% copper. The resulting alloy and the special silicone rubber employed guarantee high quality. The pieces have a soft, moderate satin finish, which remains indefinitely, along with their original color, without getting stained or losing its glow.

Etymologically the word “filete” comes from the Latin “filum” (thread) and it means "fine line serving as ornament". Its equivalent in English is fillet; in French, filet and in Italian, filetto.
In Buenos Aires, the terms “Filete” and “Fileteado Porteño” are used interchangeably to refer to the popular pictorial art that emerged in this city between the late 19th century and early 20th century. “Fileteadores”, on the other hand, were the artists that developed this unique visual art.
The Filete Porteño has its origin in the decorative art of greengrocers, milkmen and bakers’ carts, which later expanded to other animal-drawn vehicles and finally, trucks and buses. More recently, this technique has been used in architecture to embellish restaurants, bars, house interiors, furniture and objects.
Early fileteadores agreed that the first artists who specialized in the craft were Salvatore Venturo, Vicente Brunetti and Cecilio Pascarella, who decorated carts with simple ornaments. Later Miguel Venturo, son of Salvatore, introduced the more familiar ornamental elements and a renewed vision of the art’s composition. Other prominent Fileteadores were Alejandro Mentaberri, Pedro Unamuno, Andrés Vogliotti, Carlos Carboni, the Brunetti brothers, the Bernasconi brothers, the Arce brothers, Luis Zorz and León Untroib among many others who, throughout the 20th century, contributed their own style and personal view to the craft.
In late 1968, as the filete was gradually disappearing from the Buenos Aires means of transportation, the art was revalued. Critics and art circles gave it their overdue appreciation, holding the first filete exhibits in renowned art galleries.
Two names worth underlining here are those of Martiniano Arce, the only early fileteador who has transcended that era in the art scene, and León Untroib, an icon among today’s fileteadores.
León Untroib’s disciple Jorge Muscia, whose work has been exhibited in art galleries since 1984, is presently recognized by specialized critics as the most prominent filete artist of his generation.
Alfredo Martínez is an art teacher who trained at the Manuel Belgrano National School of Fine Arts and the Prilidiano Pueyrredón School. He has also taken several workshops, such as drawing with María Laura San Martín, painting with Ponciano Cárdenas and Fileteado Porteño with León Untroib.
Some of her more prominent pieces are: Bandoneón -erected on December 11th, 1997, National Tango Day, at the central hall of the Ezeiza International Airport- and the bust of Roberto Goyeneche, sculpted by Coca before the singer passed away. After his death, the figure was set up on the República Oriental del Uruguay Square, located on the corner of Austria and Figueroa Alcorta.
Coca Ocampo became the first female artist to erect the figure of a tango singer in a public place in Buenos Aires. She has also exhibited a sculpture dedicated to Néstor Marconi (1987) at the Salón Nacional, along with many other bandoneon pieces.
Some of her most outstanding works are the carvings of Homero Expósito and Evaristo Carriego.
One of Coca’s many achievements throughout her long career as a sculptress was the 1996 Sculptress of the Year Distinction, conferred by La República de San Telmo.
Her work has been displayed in various art halls, private galleries and tango books such as: El Polaco, by Longoni and Vecchiarelli; Nadie se Pierde en Buenos Aires, by José Ardanaz; El Tango Mítico, by Mario Frieiro Pombo; Bajo el Mismo Cielo by Jorge García and Damas y Milongueras del Tango, by Estela Dos Santos, among others.

Sculptress born in San Isidro, Prov. of Buenos Aires. Millan has created a series of nine small-sized lost wax bronze sculptures, depicting diverse postures and moments of the tango dance. The sensation of movement is enhanced as the pieces spin on their base.
Pin Stallmann was born in Amsterdam in 1947, and has been married to Nineke for 35 years. He worked as an ENT specialist at the Meppel Hospital from 1980 to 2005. Since 2001 a new theme has captivated his paintings. Pim and Nineke have become infected by Argentine Tango.
During their holidays, the couple dances in halls and milongas in France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Russia and Buenos Aires.
Part of Pim’s work alludes to some of his idols, like Dali, De Chirico and, certainly, Magritte.
Daniel Machado's photographic exhibit at "Porteño y Bailarín".
These images are inspired by the "new tango" universe, distant from old Tango clichés. This genre is crying for a new space, a new esthetic to depict it. An esthetic that is sensual, suggestive and powerful, just like the music that inspired it.
