Luisa Mesa Having Solo Exhibit At Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery 1

7/28/2011

Moving On by Luisa Mesa (not sure if this one will be in the exhibit but it is an example of her work)
Luisa Mesa is having a solo exhibition of her multi-media art at Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery 1 Mayfair center 3390 Mayfair st  ste 128 Coconut Grove . There is an opening reception on August 6 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Mesa, born in Havana and living in South Florida, is an artist whose work I first saw at Art Center South Florida.  While many of the artists there “stood out” she did in particular. I am never sure why that is the case. But she explains her art as always beginning with repetition and layering, saying these are fundamental parts of her work. Every single piece begins this way. Do not take this to mean there is a “sameness” to the work either. Rather this foundation is part of a metaphor for the “interconnectedness of all things” (as the release for this exhibit put it—and I can think of no different way to say it).

She uses colors that, on the color wheel or in art class, might not seem to fit together, to complement one another but of course when Mesa puts them in context they do fit. As notes she works in a variety of media from enamel to digital images to resin and more.

Jean-Pierre Roy and Kim Keever have a two person exhibition. Roy is a painter and Keever a photographer. The exhibit is at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (2200 Parks Avenue in Virginia Beach). The exhibit opened July 21 and runs through December 30.

Roy’s works in this exhibit were all created over the past three years and all deal with the same theme; mankind’s ongoing need to push technology to the limit to gain knowledge. Roy’s work is not condemnation but an illustration of the consequences good and bad. He also created two new works specifically for the show—featuring himself!

Roy is represented by Rare Gallery in NYC. You can find out more at the Rare website or at the artist’s website.

Museum Of Art In Fort Lauderdale Exhibiting "The Art Of Caring"

7/15/2011

The Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale has always been a small gem of a museum. Whether exhibiting their own collection, traveling shows, the works of local artists or the works owned by local collectors there is virtually always something worth seeing at the museum. I am in Ft. Lauderdale four times a year at least and I always go. Even if the same exhibit is still up, it is always worth seeing again. The current exhibit is The Art of Caring, A Look at Life through Photography.

This is an exhibit, broken down into seven different parts of life—and specifically how life is seen in different times and cultures. The truly fascinating part is that these photos are collected from a wide swath of time and a divergent group of photographers.

True, forcing some of these photos into the seven categories is not necessarily seamless. The written introduction when you walk into the exhibit admits as much but the general theme holds and the photos are moving.  They different styles and different photographers also add an unusual perspective. How many other themed exhibits feature works by Annie Leibovitz, Gordon Parks, Dorothea Lange, Nan Goldin and many others?

The exhibit opened June 5 and will be on display until September 25.  The Museum of Art is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale at One East Las Olas Boulevard (at Andrews Avenue).
