AAF NYC - Spring 2019

At the end of March of 2019 Simon exhibited with Wolf&Nomad Gallery back where it all began in NYC at the incredible and vibrant Affordable Art Fair NYC spring edition. The fair was an immense success with works selling quickly to an enthusiastic audience full of discerning New York and international clients.

Simon exhibited new works and showcased a beautiful large scale oil painting from his series “Mujeres de Providencia.”

It was wonderful to be back in New York City alongside friends and family in such an exuberant and successful moment for the artist and gallery.

We look forward to attending the fair again in Spring 2020!

Her Name Was Carmen - SoHo, Manhattan

In November of 2018 Simon completed his much anticipated project at Soho’s newest popular and chic watering hole “Her Name Was Carmen.” The restaurant and lounge club has been a huge hit bringing in a well heeled crowd from around the globe.

The food is delicious and creative, drinks tropical and strong, while all the while SImon’s hand painted jungle mural brings life to the space in a most intriguing and delightful way. The huge painted mural entices diners from the upstairs level to descend into “Carmen’s World” bringing on nights of endless dancing and debauchery!

Come check it out at 527 Broome St New York, NY 10013!

NYC Restaurant Mural Commission

Wolf & Nomad has signed off on a large scale commissioned project to take place in November 2018 in New York City. The project will include a large scale hand painted mural by featured artist Simon Vargas. The mural will span over two large walls in a brand new high end Latin American restaurant and bar space located in SoHo, Manhattan.

The mural is inspired by Simon’s recent collage works, but instead of paper the artist will go all out with high quality oil paints and gold metallic elements. The artist will accomplish an enormous custom piece for the restaurant/lounge club over the course of several weeks this fall in NYC.
