Review by ZONA MAGAZINE  ´Where Culture Meets the Coast´


Puerto Vallarta, December 2023 — As 2023 drew to a close, the art community in Puerto Vallarta was poised for the unveiling of “Clarooscuro,” an evocative solo exhibition by Hector Belloc at the MANN MADE MEXICO gallery. This past December, the gallery will became a canvas for Belloc’s exploration of the nuanced dance between light and dark, an exploration that has earned him recent acclaim at the Vallarta Art Museum.


Belloc, whose piece at the Vallarta Art Museum was the exclamation point of the exhibition, is no stranger to the limelight. His work, characterized by a profound grasp of chiaroscuro, transforms spaces into a dialogue of contrasts that is as much an artistic statement as it is a philosophical query.


The artist’s piece, a commanding installation that captivated audiences at the museum, is a testament to his unique vision—one that may hint at the thematic direction of his upcoming showcase at MANN MADE MEXICO. However, “Clarooscuro” is set to be an independent narrative that further delves into the symbiotic relationship of light and shadow, bringing forth a new set of artworks that challenge and enchant.


Hector Belloc, in a photograph taken at the Vallarta Art Museum, stands beside his celebrated installation—a complex interplay of organic forms and illuminated elements. The piece, much like the artist himself, exudes a presence that beckons viewers to look closer and find their own meanings within the interstices of light.


Situated at Guadalupe Sanchez 672, MANN MADE MEXICO is the chosen venue for “Clarooscuro,” providing an intimate backdrop for Belloc’s new expressions. Known for championing contemporary artists who push boundaries, the gallery is an apt stage for an exhibition that promises to immerse visitors in an experience that transcends the visual.


“Clarooscuro” is not just an exhibition; it is an invitation to traverse the emotional and perceptual impacts of chiaroscuro—the subtle yet powerful effects of light and shadow that Belloc so masterfully captures. This exhibition will be a continuation of the conversation that his work at the Vallarta Art Museum began, inviting deeper contemplation and appreciation.


Put it on your to-do list and join the vibrant Puerto Vallarta art scene in celebrating Hector Belloc’s “Clarooscuro” at MANN MADE MEXICO. The event is a unique opportunity to witness the new pieces by an artist whose work has become a defining feature of the local cultural landscape.
