Located in the heart of San Jose del Cabo, Enrique Bascón’s gallery holds a variety of mesmerizing pieces. His ultra-realistic paintings and drawings pull aspects of collage and pop-art to create unique works inspired by his travels. Color and black and white pieces are available for sale including oil paintings, drawings, and prints. Standout series includes a collection of life-size oil paintings paying respect to beach vendors called “Vendors”, and an ongoing series of drawings depicting Bascón’s views on the sociopolitical climate in Mexico, “Tintas”.

Frank Arnold Gallery

Abstract figures come to life in Frank Arnold‘s paintings and sculptures, which he puts on display in his unique gallery, which doubles as his home, and studio in San Jose del Cabo. His artworks consist mainly of oil paintings and cast bronze sculptures, and hold a haunting quality that seems both deeply personal, and distant. You can also find his works on the streets, like the 24-foot sculpture of Alma Del Cabo in the Frank Arnold Plaza de San Jose del Cabo. All pieces are also available for worldwide delivery.

Caravane Cabo

If you’re looking for something a bit different, Caravane Cabo pulls together elements of various art forms. Primarily a fine art print shop, the space also doubles as a concept store holding modern Mexican designs, a woodwork shop and an interior design studio. Shedding light on Mexico’s contemporary design and art, you can find anything from hand collected antiques, textiles, stunning furniture pieces and prints of your favorite artworks, all in one place.
