Category: Abecedario Arde

Kiosko, Ki’Bok, and Kaleidoscope are the representatives of the letter K in the Arde Alphabet. The kiosk in San Miguel de Allende, with its stunning colonial design, serves as the ideal landmark in the central plaza. Ki’Bok, the charming neighboring café, is the perfect spot for a great breakfast before visiting Arde Gallery. And, of course, the kaleidoscope, one of our most iconic pieces, stands out with its fascinating fractal and geometric patterns, available at Arde Gallery.

The letter J is represented by an artist, a designer and a vital space for San Miguel de Allende. The unifying theme is the diversity of ideas, materials and species that harmonize and embellish the imprint of each one of them. 

Iker Ortiz, Mexico’s most original jeweler; the installation, one of the most dazzling resources of contemporary art and Ignancio Allende, the character who inherited his name to San Miguel de Allende are the representatives of the letter I of the Arde’s ABC. 

H for hamburgers because there is no city in the world that does not have a spot known for having the best in hamburgers. H for Héctor Falcón because he is one of the great multidisciplinary Mexican artists represented by Arde Gallery and H for one more of the many beautiful and unique hotels in San Miguel de Allende.

We present three words that begin with the letter G of tremendous importance. They fit together spatially: Guanajuato, the home state of Arde Gallery from where we write for this occasion what an art gallery is and explain artistic techniques such as engraving among many other things.

F Is for Photography, Francisco Esnayra and Fabrica La Aurora, three relevant concepts for us. The first is about the technique that allows us to retain moments or build ideas that we can only generate in dreams; the second refers to the sculptor who ventures to explore the world of the human psyche, challenging and hypnotizing the viewer. Finally, the primary Cultural Center of San Miguel de Allende that everyone has to visit at some point. 

It is the turn of the letter E to refer to an artist of playful and colorful character of German origin, who has been producing in Mexico for decades and is now part of the selection of artists in Arde Gallery; and because it is never enough, a boutique hotel, spa and restaurant with the most scenic view of San Miguel de Allende; to close with one of the ancient artistic practices that has evolved along with humanity, sculpture.

The letter D appears with three concepts of great importance for Arde Gallery. We begin with Design, which is fundamental to conceive the gallery; we continue with Daniel Orozco as one of the representatives of Mexican contemporary design. Finally with Dragones, the name of a military corps of great historical relevance in San Miguel de Allende that also gave its name to a Casa Dragones, the internationally recognized brand of tequila that usually brightens up our cocktails at Arde Gallery.

The letter C refers to the name of a hotel that is also a luxury shopping complex, a restaurant and an architectural beauty of San Miguel de Allende; to one of the most used creative techniques in art and one of the most important words in the art world today. 

Three new words give continuity to the ABCdario ARDE! B as Blossom suggests naming a  great Arde Gallery artis; to a precinct in San Miguel de Allende, where inspiration takes shape in any of the fine arts and to one of the bars that you should remember for your next visit to San Miguel de Allende.
