“In music, the word Counterpoint (Contrapunto in Spanish) is the technique of combining two or more melodic lines in such a way that they establish a harmonic relationship while retaining their linear individuality”

As artists, we are connected and work together in a unique and harmonious way — the best way to describe our dynamic was to use the musical term: Counterpoint. We are a small yet strong group of artists from Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela. Contrapunto Founder Carlos Solis (Venezuela) alongside Pedro Fuertes (Peru), Jorge Arcos (Mexico), Melvin Toledo (Nicaragua), Dora Lopez (Peru), and Catalina Gomez-Beuth (Colombia). 

While we work independently, collaborating with galleries and institutions far and wide, we regularly show our work as a group. This includes other guest artists, and it is our philosophy to provide opportunities to emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Contrapunto recognizes the importance of working alongside people outside of our community in order to make our presence as Latin American artists, individually as well as together, stronger and more recognizable.
