Aldo Chaparro

Biography

Aldo Chaparro is a Peruvian-Mexican artist born in 1965. His work is based on the interactions between different materials and disciplines; from curating, cinema, public art, architecture, industrial and editorial design (Editorial Celeste, Mexico, 2000-2014), to music, sculpture, painting, installation, etc.

This tendency to jump from one language to another has generated in him a constant preoccupation with the processes of art and the connection that these disciplines have with broader areas of society. In this way, his work has become a testimony to various processes, somehow discarding the idea that the value of the work lies in the resulting object and its close relationship with the art world.

Aldo Chaparro is present in Mexico (Mexico City, Valle de Bravo and Monterrey), Peru (Lima), Spain (Madrid) and the United States (Los Angeles). He divides his time between these places, seeking to generate a more intimate and profound connection with the cities where he develops his projects. His work is part of important public and private collections around the world.

Aldo Chaparro’s works are included in numerous prestigious public and private collections around the world. These include the Instituto Cultural Peruano Norte Americano (ICPNA) and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC) in Lima, Peru; the Museo de Arte de Sinaloa (MASIN) in Culiacán, Mexico; The Jumex Foundation and The Coppel Collection in Mexico; the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM); the CIFO – Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation in Miami, U.S.; the Helga de Alvear Foundation in Cáceres, Spain; as well as prominent private collections such as those of Simon de Pury (London), Douglas Baxter (New York), Domenico De Sole (Hilton Head), Guler Sabanci (Istanbul), and Pierre Huber (Switzerland).
