Born 1941, Santa Maria

Carlos Vergara’s turbulent presence fills the room. His intensity of colors, materiality through his use of minerals and pigments often scare the first-time observer. His work confronts and provokes curiosity. In his Carnival photos from the 1970s the euphoric sensuality of this rite of passage is portrayed through his uncensored lens.  He observes, in silence? Not for long - Vergara is truly a force of nature!
