Art Files: Thiago Goms and Karina Toledo in Vienna, Austria

The art files! It shouldn’t really be a secret that we’re huge fans of contemporary art, from lowbrow to graffiti and more.

As we’re not really into visiting classical sites and museums, we often find ourselves seeking out the good stuff on the streets and in art galleries. Such is the case here in Vienna, as one of the first things we did here was to hook up with a longtime associate, Lilo, at his adhocPAD creative hub and gallery.

They have an artist-in-residence program, and the newest pair to arrive are two exceptional Brazilian artists: Thiago Goms and Karina Oliveira de Toledo. Their new “Cats ‘n’ Bears” exhibition opened in mid-May, and we swung by the vernissage to check out their work, as well as have some drinks and chat with some great folks. We also bought a print for our niece, because we can’t have ‘things’ and sometimes, we just can’t help ourselves.

Thanks to Lilo and the gang, as well as Thiago and Karina for their great work. We have to give an additional shout out to Kunstwolke, who were responsible for organizing the event. Enjoy!
