Denny Dimon Gallery (Hong Kong / New York) Showed Work By Paula Wilson At Untitled Miami Beach 20201/28/2020  Light It Up by Paula Wilson Denny Dimon Gallery (Hong Kong / New York) showed work by Paula Wilson at Untitled Miami Beach 2020. Wilson is a multi-media artist who uses printmaking, painting, sculpture and video. There is something that suggest stained glass when you look at these intricate works. Her pieces are collage-ish. It is hard to actually label them with that term without qualification. Window Sill, for instance, is screen print, monotype, acrylic and oil on muslin and canvas with video insert (you can see the insert in the detail below). Light it up also has a video insert and is acrylic, printing ink (monotype, woodblock, lithograph) and oil on muslin and canvas. As you can see the media Wilson uses is varied. The artist, originally from Chicago and now living in New Mexico, holds a BFA from Washington University (St. Louis) and a MFA from Columbia. Find out more about the artist at paulajwilson.com.

Jason Jacques Gallery (New York) showed work by Nick Weddell at Design Miami 2019. Weddell, from Austin, Texas, holds a BFA in ceramics from Texas State University and an MFAa from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Four Eyes is stoneware, porcelin and glaze. Even in person it somehow gives the idea of being plush. Weddell's work mixes the monstrous with the whimsical and colorful.  photos by Boyd Ogle II Todd Merrill Studio (New York) showed various work at Design Miami 2019. Todd Merrill is the third generation of his family to work in the design business. They began collection eighteenth and nineteenth century American Furniture.

Future Perfect showed work by Chris Wolston at Design Miami 2019. The Nalgona dining chairs are made from Colombian Mimbre (wicker) which is sourced from the Amazon (and sourced responsibly). The chairs mimic not only the human form but plastic Remax chairs, which are apparently popular throughout Colombia. Future perfect was founded 17 years ago by David Alhadeff. IN that time they have become one of the world's foremost design studios. Their work run from one of a kind to studio creations.

The installation features two large funeral urns and a ceramic teddy bear. Lugo is a teacher, a poet, a social activist and a potter. He is from Philadelphia and started as a street artist before moving into ceramics. Wexler Gallery also showed work by him at Expo Chicago 2019. This booth demonstrated a unified design by the artist, rather than the collection of pieces that were at Expo Chicago. It is a step beyond.   photos by Boyd Ogle II Rooms Studio presented In Circulaiton by Nata Janberizde and Keti Toloraia as part of Curio at Design Miami 2019. The two artists are from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. They formed as a team in 2006 right after leaving art school in Tblisi. You can read an article on the two at the New York Times. Several pieces on the artists refer to how the Soviet Union collapsed when they were youngsters and also created what they do in something of a vacuum. Their work, while not "street art" in the sense of how we see these days, is inspired by actual street art, the carved symbols on school desks and park benches. In Circulation is a rumination upon these artifacts and a look at the reason we feel the need to leave behind such marks.

The striking blue booth featured pieces with both modern (in different senses of the word even) and ancient, for lack of a better word, "vibe."    photos by Boyd Ogle II Carpenter's Workshop Gallery (London, New York, Paris, San Francisco) showed work at Design Miami 2019.
