The Tiroche DeLeon Collection is pleased to present Everything you are I am not, a selection of key works of Latin American contemporary art from the Tiroche DeLeon Collection, curated by London- based art historian, patron, and collector Catherine Petitgas.  Previously shown at Mana’s Wynwood location for Miami Art Week, the exhibition will be presented in different facets of this approach. Highlights include a focus on ‘experimental’ drawing with individual displays by artists such as Eduardo Basualdo, from Argentina;  Mateo López and Nicolás Paris from Colombia; deconstructed painting and  sculpture with large scale displays by Brazilian artists Leda Catunda, Adriano Costa, Maria Nepomuceno, Erika Verzutti, and Cuban artists Los Carpinteros, among others; and a strong  emphasis  on street art and urban culture, with large-scale participative installations by Os Gêmeos and Paulo Nazareth from Brazil, and individual displays by Mexican artists Pedro Reyes, Moris, and Edgardo Aragón. With a mix of works by established and emerging artists in a wide range of media, Everything you are I am not offers a fascinating survey of current contemporary practices in Latin America.
