About Aldo Chaparro
Biography from Morton Subastas
Aldo Chaparro arrived in Monterrey in 1991, accompanied by his friend Moico Yaker, who was invited to participate in the inaugural exhibition of the Museum of Contemporary Art. At that time, Monterrey began to promote its art market with the help of a small group of collectors and Aldo began to know that new Latin market well. Aldo's work was carved wood, a material that he had been using his last years of university studies. He made representations of objects influenced by Vanitas paintings, because the purpose of those works was to remember that everything in life was vanity. Thus, with those ideas, the works of its first stage were well accepted in the artistic circles of Monterrey, and he managed to exhibit in museums and sell through galleries.
Some time later, together with Vanesa Fernández and Mario García Torres, he formed a group called "La Mesa", which was basically his studio. The content of his work has not changed much since its inception, over time, Aldo structured his work as something quite personal, maintaining a strong belief that all his work must have a process, an idea, a material and a resolution.
Currently, Aldo Chaparro's work is part of important international collections such as: Jumex Foundation / Collection, Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation in Miami, The Helga de Alvear Foundation in Spain, Simon de Pury in London, Douglas Baxter's Collection in New York, Collection Guler Sabanci in Istanbul, Turkey and Pierre Huber Collection in Switzerland, among others.
