Maestro de Maestros — First International Edition
The Exhibition
In October 2025, Ken Kelleher became the first international artist invited into Maestro de Maestros — El Coso's flagship program featuring the most significant names in contemporary art. Galería Darte announced it simply: "Straight from the United States, one of the most renowned names in global art arrives at El Coso. In our first international edition of Maestro de Maestros, space transforms and art expands."
Ken and Sol flew to Bogotá for the opening — an evening that placed his work alongside a canon of celebrated Colombian masters. The collaboration was driven as much by values as by visibility: El Coso channels every sale into social programs supporting the families of the Colombian National Police through Fundación Corazón Verde.
About El Coso
El Coso — Tienda de Arte Contemporáneo Social — evolved in 2023 from Galería Darte Social, one of Bogotá's most respected contemporary art galleries. It operates as both a gallery and a social enterprise: every work sold through the store contributes directly to Fundación Corazón Verde, a Colombian foundation dedicated to the families, widows, and orphans of the National Police.
The foundation runs programs across education, housing support, and economic reintegration for families affected by service-related loss — one of the few art-driven social enterprise models of its kind in Latin America. For Ken, participating in El Coso was an alignment of creative ambition and human values: work placed in a context where a sale translates into something genuinely meaningful for people who need it.
Ken's paintings and small-format works are available directly through El Coso's online store. Every purchase supports Fundación Corazón Verde and its programs for Colombian Police families.
