CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
Coqueteando con el Aire
Flirting with the Air
February 22 - March 22 2025
El Canto Gallery proudly announces its inaugural exhibition, Flirting with the Air, a captivating exploration of the ephemeral and evocative.
This two-person show features Los Angeles-based artists Carolyn Castaño and Martin Durazo, whose works merge the tangible and intangible to create a sensory-rich dialogue about the fleeting nature of human connection and existence.
The title, Flirting with the Air /Coqueteando con el Aire, reflects a playful yet poignant state of being—dancing through life’s joys and tragedies, existing in moments of levity even amidst darker undertones. Through paintings, mixed media, and assemblages, Castaño and Durazo transform these themes into vivid, deeply personal works.
