Galería Studio Cerillo is a fabulous gem of an eclectic art space known as ‘the ever disappearing gallery,’ comprised of layer upon layer of exhibitions, which, over the years, have entombed some exceptional art featuring both international and local artists, boldly stretching both artistic and conceptual boundaries. The intimate space left at the centre of this multi - layered installation is filled with some fabulous photographs from the talented and genre-busting Cisco, of the people and places of Chiapas, a beautiful collection of jewellery by Dani, iron work, plus paintings of a satirical and abstract persuasion. By no means this is all you’ll find, as the Galería is always evolving and changing and full of surprises. The whole block around the Galería is decorated with Chiapas-infused street art, a la Zapatista, and sits at the top of barrio el Cerrillo as comfortably as it would in the middle of Brooklyn or outer space. Banksy has been reported to have set foot in this neighbourhood. I can see why. Wild and wacky adventures await, no trip to San Cristóbal is complete without a visit to Studio Cerillo. Top tip: shows and exhibitions not to be missed!
