For the month of February, The Venue Fine Art & Gifts is pleased to feature the paintings of Carlos Tirado. Carlos was born and grew up in Caracas, Venezuela. He displayed a talent and a passion for art at an early age, which was nurtured and encouraged by his parents, art classes, and mentorships with some of Venezuela’s finest artists. His ever-practical parents recognized the financial hardships which frequently accompany the life of an artist, so they encouraged him to also attend law school. He now holds degrees in Fine Art and Law. After establishing himself as a significant artist in Venezuela, Carlos immigrated to Southern Florida where he now creates and resides. Carlos is a sculptor, teacher, and painter whose talent encompasses several different mediums and styles. In this show at The Venue, Carlos displays his great gifts as an abstract expressionist inspired by the energy of Jackson Pollock and the use of space by Rothko. Carlos has added his own bold gestural brushstrokes, bright colors, and texture. The resulting paintings, in mixed media, vary in size, price, and impact, and are all a delight to see. The Venue is pleased and proud to present to Bloomington, the Paintings of Carlos Tirado.
