Memento Atl

Join us this Thursday at Memento Gallery for an evening with artists Paula Cortazar and Gabriel Choto ✨ featuring tacos, wine, and an inside look into the artist process. We’ll be screening intimate studio videos of the artists creating their work, followed by the Mexico vs. South Korea match in honor of Paula’s home country 🇲🇽

Come hang, watch, eat, drink, and experience the work in a more personal way. See you Thursday!

Gabriel Tendai Choto

Featured piece: Tethered to the Present

A figure pauses, held in a moment that feels both quiet and uncertain, neither moving forward nor turning back.

In Tethered to the Present, Choto reflects on stillness as a space of decision; something can shift simply by staying and allowing the present moment to fully arrive.

Choto's painting sits within a broader body of work in the [Held Traces exhibit] that outlines a path from disconnection toward healing and where acceptance begins not in movement, but in stillness.
