Ricky Vior
RV
Ricky Vior was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and lives in Sunny, Florida. He studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
In 2010 opened, in Buenos Aires, TINAG (ThisIsNotaGallery), the world's most petite gallery, showcasing art 24/7 through a tiny window. TINAG was invited three years in a row to join ARTEBA, one of LATAM's most significant art fairs.
Along with Converse, he created two programs to support street artists in Mexico and Brazil. "Highways": A project that recovers the spaces under the highways and transforms them into underground galleries and venues where local artists can show their art and music.
"Donate your Shadow": After the city forbade Street art in Sao Paulo, we invited people to donate their shadows to artists so that they can transform them into colorful statements against the gray all around the city.
In 2014, he moved to Miami. His work has been exhibited in group shows in galleries and art fairs like ArteBa (Barrio Joven) and Gallery nights in Buenos Aires, Mexico; he also exhibits in San Pablo and Miami.
In 2018 he had a collective show with Spotteart Gallery in NYC and was invited to participate in the ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2019.
