Emma Pineiro, Fragmented Land, 2010
Through April 18 Emma Pineiro: Terra Firma Curated by Daniela Montana
Pineiro reveals a broken peace at the core of our existence --an ecological shift. How progress imprints itself onto her native Pampas, is a subject which threads together this prolific artist’s multi-media body of work. Here she uses the language of New Symbolism to enter into a critical engagement with history and myth, while exploring the poignant issues of our times. Pineiro’s serene horizontal bands intercepted by abrupt dips and dubious perches find themselves in a progressively fragmented landscape.
Terra Firma’s intimist topographies --layered in rich colors, applied freely to create contrasting patterns, depth and perspective-- have an inspired allure. Their seductive beauty nearly veils the scars that stakeholders leave on the plains and on the psyche of a country whose romantic linkages to the land form the basis of legend. Pineiro’s representational abstraction raises salient questions pertaining to the national ethos, a collective memory and the sacred mysticism of the Pampas.

Third Thursday - Brickell Gallery Night Permanent Exhibit
Manuel Carbonell. Modern Master Sculptor An important collection of maquettes, sculptures, bas-reliefs and monumental sculptures by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell. His commissioned work as the creator of two of Miami’s most important landmarks, “The Tequesta Family” at the Brickell Avenue Bridge and “El Centinela del Rio” at the entrance of the Miami River in Brickell Key, denotes his more classical and figurative style. The works exhibited at the Gallery are modern, where Carbonell searches for the essence of the form and the absence of detail while giving a sense of monumentality to his work.
We invite you to visit our gallery to see an important collection of the works of Carbonell ranging from maquettes to monumentals and the paintings and sculptures of Mauro Arbiza.
