| Leonel Matheu, Fusion, 2010, Plywood and Acrylic Paint, 8’ (L) X 12’ (W) X 8’ (H)
|
| Until March 8 Leonel Matheu. Fusion. Matheu’s iconic images, reminiscent of child’s play, simplicity, and at times injured naiveté, make a re-appearance in “FUSION”, a collection of drawings by the artist. This interactive installation involves the spectator in the artwork by making him or her a crucial character or symbol in the piece itself. In fact, it is not until the spectator becomes involved that the piece is really complete. Viewers will have a chance to take a photograph with the installation, making the artistic experience engaging and lasting.
“Fusion is a show in which a series of individual pieces that have distinct characteristics stand together in a collaborative theme; a theme that is rich in a reflective and analytical spirit. Within this exhibit, the spectator will find “Fusion”, the piece that inspired the exhibit and gave it its name. “Fusion” is a piece that fuses time and space into reality-- a reality that results from the presence of humans and art in the physical sense of a world created by an originally artistic idea.” - Leonel Matheu |

| Laurie Recanati, Leila
|
|
Laurie Recanati. New Works Throughout her work Laurie is interested in how time and emotion can be symbolized by objects. She enjoys the feeling that life can often seem quite surreal, and employs a playful approach to exploring its physicality and possibilities... Laurie has undertaken numerous public commissions across Israel. Her mosaics can be seen in hospitals, schools, gardens and offices across the county. The work includes fountains, panels, flooring, furniture and sculptures. Laurie’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in numerous private and public collections. Much of her work has been created in response to our disposable society. If an object is slightly damaged, it is thrown away rather than repaired and then quickly replaced. Materials such as broken china and old teapots, shattered bus shelter glass and buttons are all incorporated within her work. By adorning discarded, functional objects she transforms the readymade, pushing “junk” into a fine art context. The metamorphosis of the ordinary into the extraordinary continues to fascinate her. Laurie is available for commissions for homes, gardens and corporate clients.

|
|
Daniel Bottero. The Love of the Poet “Our past, our present and our future all influence my paintings. Each painting I create is an essential part of my inner being. My work speaks many languages, communicates on several levels at the same time. A unique psychological interaction between reality and fantasy, one that transports the observer into a dreamlike encounter with the sublime.” Daniel Bottero
"Bottero is ... a poet painter, that is, a painter who uses the medium to convey the poetry of his emotions ..." Donald Kuspit
Today Bottero works in his studios in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami and in Buenos Aires. Bottero graduated from the National School of Fine Arts, Buenos Aires. He earned his Master’s Degree at the Academia Italiana di Belle Arti, Lucca, Italy. From 1986 to 1990 Bottero resided and worked in Paris. Since 1990 he has lived and worked in New York. Bottero’s work has been shown throughout the world. His paintings are featured in the corporate collections of Citibank, Xerox, Avon, Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan Chase Bank. |

When you seek love, you can become saturated with infatuation or lust. The question we pose is if there is a clear difference? It’s an experiment. The visual expression of these emotions is the goal. To accomplish this, we gathered a group of artists who have or have had links to Florida International University with the objective to reach out and support local artists with the hope that love and solidarity bounds us.

| “DOG” will be performed Saturday, February 13th at the Bakehouse Art Complex in the Project room at Noon and will be open to the public.
Until March 1st Found Object/Found Love: 30 Years of Art with Pablo Cano. Co-Curated by Anthony Ardavin & Lauren Wagner, this celebratory thirtieth year of art will take a look back at the early work of Cano and follow him on his artful journey beginning in Baltimore and ending back here in his beloved Miami. Found Object/ Found Love will feature unique never-before shown oil paintings, figurative sculptures, ceramics and of course, his notable marionettes. Accompanying the exhibition, Pablo Cano has teamed up with master puppeteer Jim Hammond to create “DOG”, a Shadow Puppet Play. It is a story about a Dog who pursues a “red squeaky ball” through famous paintings and sculptures in art history. The ball is used as a metaphor for each of our simplest pursuits of happiness. Using miniature style of overhead projector shadow puppetry that Jim has used in commissions by New World Symphony and The Museum of Art - Fort Lauderdale, Pablo and Jim have developed a surreal non-linear world that explores scale and two dimensional details. Keeping true with his use of found materials for his artwork, Pablo created each shadow puppet from plastic BEWARE OF THE DOG signs. “DOG”brings together art education, music and entertainment to young and old alike.
(Saturday 13 at noon, tickets are $15.00 for Adults, $10.00 for Members, Children under 13 no charge).

Opening Reception Saturday Feb. 13, 7 – 10 | Jae Hahn, My Little Man. Structures at Kellery Roy Gallery |
| Until March 11 Small Works. Group Show Debris of Abstraction II. Mimi Bates. Critics have described Bates’ work as “an artistic dialogue with Twombly, Rauschenberg, and Rothko.” “Her asymmetrical bi-polar masses of color may apprehend a point/counterpoint in sync with Rothko’s own renowned series of “Untitleds.” “Bates and Twombly are both creatures of exile: he overlooks the Mediterranean from the Roman coast, whilst she seems in permanent exile on her hilltop overlooking the Pacific”. Bates work is included in many private and corporate collections from Washington, Boston, Greenwich and Palm Beach, to La Jolla, Palm Springs and Honolulu. Joe Hahn. Structures at Kelley Roy Gallery New Series of Paintings, Samadhi-Luz and Unfolding Series (My Little Man). Samadhi is a Hindu and Buddhist term that describes a state of consciousness in which the perception of the experiencing subject becomes the experienced object. Hahn’s paintings appear to either dance or float in a serene state of existence. Hahn’s distinct language brings together traditional methods from Asian art and modern expressions of neo-minimalist aesthetics. |

Kraushaar Featuring: Agustin de Llanos The exhibition aims to display classically trained figurative, young, emerging artists who utilize contemporary subject matters.

Anaya-Lucca is a renowned fashion photographer known for capturing the world of Ralph Lauren rethinks classic imagery as his own personal expression of events in history. For his first exhibition of its type, Anaya-Lucca rethinks classic imagery in a more personal way, animating events in history with a curiosity that is both critical and sensual. Adam and Eve is a nude study inspired by 17th and 18th Century renaissance paintings. The images reflect the struggle of sensuality, temptation and shame that underlies the human condition as well as the joy of sexual innocence. The artist also wanted to address situations where the line between internal and external sense of self was/is in conflict throughout human history. The set design for the exhibition is also by Manuel Norena with Jed Root in New York. |

| Patrick de Castro, Procession, Enamel, charcoal, magazine cutout, thumbtack on board, 2009, 40 x 32 n. |
|
Until March 25th Mirrors, Messages, Manifestations. Patrick de Castro, in the Main Gallery space and Jacquenette Arnette and Hugo Moro’s on-site installation in the Project room.
For Patrick, the clearest thought is “change is the only constant”. By eliminating “excess baggage”, he emphasizes working conceptually, under the pretext of “less is more”. Using rich color fields, he explores form and space, and creates collages from old books, magazines and found objects. He investigates dreams and archetypes of the collective unconscious, developing symbols as images that refer to oneself and operating in a space of human consciousness that transcends history and culture.
Hugo Moro and Jacquenette Arnette are both artists that work intuitively using found materials or appropriate references freely in accordance to their motives. Just from their return from the Ghetto Biennale in Haiti they wanted to begin a dialogue about the relevance and haphazard nature of communication. The experience of being in that environment using the most basic of communication in order to get ideas across and actions was impactful. The resulting work will discuss the fundamentals of perception using the construct of a double helix. The building block of life that is the most basic of constructions is as an emblem of the constructive nature of communication. |

Until March 6, 2010 Past, Present, Future Michael Costello, Michelle Hinebrook, Margaret Bowland, Gabriel Grün, David Michael Bowers and Claudio Ethos. David Michael Bowers. From a blank surface painstakingly prepared with rabbit skin glue, chalk and white zinc, acclaimed painter Bowers delves into a world that has been described as “surrealistic,” “contemporary fantastic” and “illusionary,” as he blends modern themes and whimsical ideas with the techniques of the great masters. Claudio Ethos, raised in the poverty-stricken neighborhoods of his native Sao Paolo, Brazil, Ethos became deeply influenced by the calligraphic atmosphere and graffiti art on the streets around him. He decided he, too, would become a “graffiteiro,” or urban painter. Michelle Hinebrook. “Abstraction in my work emerges through sensation, emotion, memory, physical experiences and material experimentation. I utilize fractal patterns, spatial arrangements and color contrasts to influence the viewer's perception and definition of internal and external space. I want the viewer to have an experience of the infinite. The paintings consist of interrelated layers of geometric motifs, circular, hexagonal or polyhedral lattices…”.
