KOKi Beach celebrating One Year Anniversary with Art Exhibition

KOKi Beach is kicking of Anniversary party with Art Exhibit by renowned Costa Rican artist Adrian Gomez 6 PM Saturday Oct 2.

Adrian Gomez en su parlabras

Mi encuentro con el Caribe inició hace tanto como lo que tengo de memoria... claro, ¡esto sin saber

que sería atrapado por su belleza! Hoy a la vuelta de tantos años la alegría de reencontrarme junto a él y

mi lectura de lo que he sentido es para mi como artista ... su sensación y color Caribe... se da con una alegría

enorme en este momento y junto a ello el honor de poder compartir con todos este conjunto de piezas, síntesis

de un proceso de más de 15 años, asi que no siendo de otra forma esto, hoy luego de todo este recorrido llego

con mi obra, junto a parte del entorno que le dio vida y sentido a mi labor de artista, mi amor por el Caribe...

Además a ello se suma el honor de tenerlos en este espacio tan especial de KOKI BEACH y muy especialmente

para que la misma sea parte de la celebración de su primer aniversario, mi agradecimiento por el espacio y

celebremos la belleza de nuestro Caribe...

Adrián Gómez

Octubre 2 , 2010

Adrián Gómez. (Costa Rica, 1962).

Artista visual proveniente de la generación de finales de 1980, su formación de carácter autodidacta a partir de

1978. Ha participado a la fecha en más de 47 muestras colectivas y realizado 34 exposiciones individuales. La obra

de Gómez está apoyada dentro de una línea figurativa nutriéndose esta de la cultura Afro-Caribeña, con la cual

logra darle continuidad a una constante presente en su obra, como lo son el movimiento, el mundo lúdico de la niñez,

la paz y los espacios de serenidad; todas ellas sensaciones con los cuales elabora su lenguaje y de esta forma logra

transmitir un acercamiento de cómo ...respira la vida el Caribe…

Puerto Viejo travel in the New York Times

The laid-back, untamed vibe of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast attracts surfing disciples and soul-searching world travelers.SOME vacation destinations attract tourists. Others attract disciples. The surfer town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and the tiny beach communities southeast of it, on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, are of the latter variety. This wild, often overlooked coastal stretch, an 11-mile-long necklace of small sandy coves located in southern Limón province, may be in one of Costa Rica’s poorest areas, but it’s also one of the most diverse, populated by a blend of Costa Ricans, English-speaking Afro-Caribbeans, indigenous Cabecar and Bribri Indians, and plenty of expatriates, from French fashion designers to old German hippies.

Comparsa @ KOKi Beach

A comparsa (conga de comparsa) is the band which plays a conga during a Latin American Carnival celebration. It consists of a large group of dancers wearing costumes dancing to a group of musicians playing percussions, drums (bongos), frying pans, tambores, cowbells and other instruments. It often travels on the streets, followed by a Carrosa (carriage) where the musicians play. The Comparsa is a development of African processions where groups of devotees followed a given saint or deity during a particular religious celebration. Some of the comparsas have a long history, with costumes and traditions passed down from one generation to the next

The people of Costa Rica are some of the most content on earth. Could it be because their priority is financing education not war?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !
