ArtToSaveLives Contemporary is proud to present a solo show by JuanCarlos rLora entitled - “HAPPY”
This exhibition includes pieces from the Clown Series and Suspended Animation (art without canvas!) Series.
In the parallel narrative entitled 'Flor', the Clown Series, represents the way mankind feels when it lives without seeking change, lying on the outside while feeling empty on the inside, hiding under a never ending smile, while feeling broken...
The Suspended Animation series tie well into this whimsical, yet very delicate theme. The pieces from this series are all about experimentation and fun. JuanCarlos is showcasing paintings without canvas, paint and rope directly attached to the art frame!
It's not to be missed!
On view until July 25th.

EARTH - an Invitation to Your Home by JuanCarlos rLora.
Here's about this installation in the words of the artist.
"With this immersive installation I invite you to remember that the most important things in your life, like your loved ones, live in this one beautiful place we are all overlooking. Without it, neither we nor our families would exist. So please, let us be more conscious and pay more attention and stop the destruction we are causing...
- Did you know it’s been proven that humanity is able to have car engines that run on vegetable oil and some cars are even electric, so why do we not let go of fossil fuels?
- Did you know that nowadays we can harness the power of the Sun for energy? We call it solar power, but did you also know we can find ways to have the energy hitting the equatorial line on Earth to be distributed to all the other countries North and South? But we’re just not interested...
- Did you know it’s been proven that a human being can live a longer, healthier life without the consumption of animals? And knowing the incredible amount of suffering your taste buds cause, you still choose to not care. Animal products also cause pandemics...
- Did you know that we can now compress our own plastic garbage to create cinder blocks to build homes?
Now that you know this, there are lots of things you can do for your beautiful planet.
Earth is the chest where you keep your treasures, so treasure Earth as well."
With love,
JuanCarlos rLora

NATURE MEETS TECHNOLOGY
The Narrative explores the vision of a future emergency, as humanity realizes that governments and politicians didn’t know anything about science, as they scramble and turn to scientist to demand they reconstruct through technology the benefits nature once offered, before we burned through it all. As usual, they will treat those scientists as if they had been asleep this whole time, denying the fact that scientists have been warning of the impending catastrophe ahead, as Earth, like any other living organism, will use its defenses to try and purge and rid itself of its affliction or disease.

This series is the beginning of JuanCarlos' practice at 15 years old. It was then, and still is, his roots, his neutral zone that brings him back to ground, when his explorations take him too far into the self...
