Corey Merritt Matador

As the Matador, I’m able to step outside of myself and become an expressive lens between ideas and issues, and the onlookers engaged in them.

I provide snapshots.

When people flock to the arena to witness an unpredictable bull fight, a clash between human and beast, they know they are going to see something that evokes a visceral response inside.

As I become the Matador, social subjects, as well as my own personal challenges and experiences become the beast/s.

When the fight is over, all the parties involved change. 

The issue may be slain, the Matador may suffer injuries, and the onlookers may be transformed emotionally- 

Art is my ultimate conversation starter…

 

I bring the arena to the masses.

El Arte Blancarte is a first Gen, queer, artista Mexicana established in Denver CO. 

​

A.B developed an artistic style front that alchemizes emotions and experiences into various mediums, now mainly as paintings and danza. This visual poet most commonly interprets symbolism into their creations and believes in portraying self-expressions daily to inspire the inner artists within all. From their organic nature, A.B is known for personifying plant babes and meditation sessions on the canvas. El Arte Blancarte is a creative perspective that aides throughout art and kindles to  share connection through art, music, nature, community and movement.
