Tico's art is diplayed for the fan club of Bon Jovi at the Pepsi Center

Denver, Colorado: Walnut Street Gallery took part in the Bon Jovi VIP event at the Pepsi Center on Monday March 9, 2010. We helped add to the ambiance of the room by displaying Tico Torres’ limited edition prints to the fan club members and VIPs that attended this special pre-concert dinner and cocktail reception. We were able to see first hand how incredible Mike Savas was at hosting this event and treating the guests to a fun filled evening. His true talent lies in taking care of the Fans and cranking up the excitement before the concert!

 

 

Painting since the age of 5 Tico discovered a passion for music at 11. The music consumed his life for many years. Then in the 90”s Tico returned to art and immersed himself in painting. During one of the bands extensive world tours he sought out artists around the world that he admired and studied their works. From those travels and encounters Tico possessed the inspiration to experiment with many different styles and techniques. The result was an incredible body of work.

 

                    

 

Walnut Street Gallery had nine limited edition prints of Tico’s art on display at the VIP party. Many of the guests were pleasantly surprised to learn that Tico was a visual artist as well as a great drummer. While sipping cocktails they were able to enjoy his colorful abstracts, seductive nudes and whimsical images.

 

 

Tico sums up his creative process perfectly – “Being able to go inside yourself, on your own and pull something creative out …. It fulfills me.”
