About Era Contemporary
Era Contemporary is a curatorial platform and art gallery devoted to contemporary artists whose work merges technical mastery with poetic surrealism, emotional resonance, and narrative depth.
As the brainchild of visual artist Jessica Libor, the platform presents exhibitions that revive the role of art as a portal: to beauty, archetype, enchantment, and the imagination. From visionary figuration and surreal landscapes to mystical interiors and contemporary mythologies, Era Contemporary champions artists whose works stir something eternal in the viewer—offering not only aesthetic power, but emotional and spiritual presence.
We believe art is not merely commentary—it is ritual, momument, and magic. Our artists create from that conviction.
Through exhibitions both online and in physical spaces—including at art fairs and curated pop-up salons—Era Contemporary cultivates a collector community attuned to works that are intimate, transcendent, and impeccably crafted. The gallery is guided by the editorial and curatorial voice of Aurelia Vescari, a persona shaped by Libor to preserve the aesthetic distance between artist and curator. Read our substack to explore our writings on contemporary visual culture of our artists. We also tap a rotating cast of art world luminaries to guest curate our exhibitions.
This structure allows for a focused, elevated lens—one that invites viewers to enter each exhibition as a mythic world unto itself.
Era Contemporary shows a growing circle of artists whose work reflects:
Symbolism, allegory, and emotional surrealism
Classical or academic techniques reimagined for contemporary themes
Feminine interiority, ecological myth, and metaphysical storytelling
The sacred, the dreamlike, the enchanted
Our artists are visionaries. Many are classically trained, and many are emerging from art schools, residencies, and ateliers with a hunger to say something timeless in a modern voice.
We envision a world where fine art regains its cultural power—not just as provocation, but as invocation. A return to mystery. A return to care. A return to craft. Through thoughtful exhibitions, evocative essays, and collector-focused experiences, Era Contemporary offers more than just artwork—we offer a portal into the otherworld.
We welcome:
Collectors seeking original, museum-quality work
Writers, curators, and press interested in our exhibitions
