A true artist, innovator and generous , charitable soul. I bought my first Iarca over 20 years ago. Soooo much talent!

This was by far the worst gallery experience I’ve ever had. If 0 stars was an option, that’s the rating I’d have given. As soon as my group walked in, we were immediately discriminated against. We were yelled at as we were putting our phones away to come in. We were barely in the door, standing trying to admire the art and were told that this is not art for instagram and that we need to just look or leave. I told him that no one was using their phone and that we are all artists ourselves. He said we aren’t artists (because he “could tell” - what?) and if so, we don’t deserve to be because of our behavior. We don’t deserve to be artists? Really? Who gives him the right to determine what we deserve? Mind you, our “behavior” was standing in front of a freaking painting (that we were actually enjoying). Funny enough, the young man who came in shortly after us left as well because he heard how the owner was talking to us. The young man also told us that the owner actually came to him and said he could come back and look at his work before he walked out. Considering our entire group was composed of young women, it seems this was a blatant instance of age or gender discrimination, if not both. Artists like this owner perpetuate and reinforce women being stifled in the world of artistry. If you care anything about equity and fairness, please consider passing this place by.

While my husband and I were staying in Chicago for New Year’s 2019 (entering 2020), we walked by Iarca’s gallery the first evening. We both commented on how much we liked the ‘feel’ of it from the exterior. We walked by again the next day and decided to stop in. The space is so inviting and we loved not only the work, but the experiential component of seeing canvas on the floor with a variety of paints ‘in action’. We started looking at the art and then Iarca came out. What a warm and engaged individual! We found a unique and beautiful piece ...one which has found her place in our home. From the magic of finding this piece - to Iarca’s personable nature and approach - to him running out for a bottle of wine to celebrate our purchase - to us hanging ‘her’ in our home in Indy, all is good. We HIGHLY recommend.

Mr Iarca, I have been riding the bus by your gallery. I really want to come by. I noticed that monday it was open, however on google it says that you are closed. Will you be open tomorrow? I have an art project where I have to take pictures of 3 paintings and write a comparison paper. I would love to come by

The most brilliant prolific artist of this century.Not to be missed.
