Love Stories. Curated by Pablo Peinado
In collaboration with the CCE and Gay Pride
Love Stories from the VISIBLE collection will begin with a gallery walk by Pablo Peinado, curator of the collection, and launch party at 7pm. This event will also present a performance by Queen Cabaret with DJ Kiki and an after party at Vlada Bar.
Historias de Amor is a selection of 52 pieces from Colección Visible, a Spanish foundation that has been working for years in creating a gay oriented art collection. The foundation’s objective is creating a gay art museum in Spain where works by the most relevant 20th Century artists could be presented and to highlight the role that art has is claiming respect for homosexuals. Paintings, drawings, collages and other plastic techniques with a common element in the subject.
Claude Guenard. Fashion Slave
French artist Claude Guenard will show his wildly erotic drawings and mixed media work. He thrives in showing what others don't dare to show, a certain sexuality that seems to drive the world but is kept under wrap in our Judeo/ Christian societies. His work is sometimes dominated by the sexual tension between sex and church, the tension between the forbidden and the inevitable. |

Michael Loveland. Logical Gestures
Annie Wharton
Irene Clouthier. Wrap
Michael Loveland. Logical Gestures
Brings together Loveland’s newest sculptures that explore the status of the pedestal in contemporary art. Strictly as a tool to present a sculpture, to clarify what is and what is not an art object, and to signify the importance of what is being displayed. Most of the works in this exhibition subversively complicate the duality of the pedestal/art object relationship.
Annie Wharton
A return to Miami for Annie Wharton with new paintings, showing a rapidly-moving fantasy world. Tweaking the “pour” exemplified by Morris Louis by adding elaborate details, her mark-making de-rails traditional abstract painting and repositions it somewhere near Neverland
Irene Clouthier – Wrap
A world made of plastic. Clouthier works are the ironic representation of the world with the usage of plastic as the base material. They are about the recreation of stories in artificial places. The artist is strongly inspired by her childhood and her works are reflections of past life. |

Jacqueline. Encaustic Works on Canvas
Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added.
The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface — usually prepared wood , however, Jacqueline's newest series of works are translated on canvas.
Jacqueline's complex layers of pigment suspended in time engage the viewers entire body and transport the mind to a deeper, ethereal place of wholeness and light.
This technique was notably used in the Fayum mummy portraits from Egypt around 100-300 AD, in the Blachernitissa and other early icons, as well as in many works of 20th-century American artists, including Jasper Johns. |

Eugenio Espinoza. Hablando con la Pared
“I still believe that color, itself, the support, or the method to place a work in space, is its own narrative. I still believe that “the medium is the message”.
Its “distribution” is also part of the construction of the same; it requires a greater disposition on our part to accept or understand the ethereal.” Eugenio Espinoza
alejandra von hartz gallery first opened its doors in 2002, coinciding with the first edition of Art Basel Miami Beach. At the beginning, the gallery established itself in a small space in Miami's Design District, where it would remain for almost three years. In November of 2006, it moved to its present location in the Wynwood Art District of Miami.
alejandra von hartz gallery exhibits Contemporary Art by emerging and established artists of growing national and international reputation with a strong emphasis on Latin American Minimalism, Geometric Abstraction and Conceptual art.
In this context, the gallery goal is to represent the similarities and differences that coexist in the multicultural continent that is Latin America and its insertion and nexus with globalize contemporary art. |

Carlos Estévez. The Mystery of Migrations
Gory and Adrian. Diptychs: One Lens, Two Visions
The Mystery of Migrations is the title of Carlos Estévez new solo exhibition of paintings. As the title indicates, Carlos is exploring the process of migrations, philosophically, existentially and physically.
This group of paintings continues with the general trend of his previous work: metaphorical images based on his careful selection of symbols. Groups of birds and snails are representing the different types of approach to this matter: the air and the land, the faster and the slower. Carlos creates his personal cosmogony, an imaginary world populated by his creatures.
Gory and Adrian. Diptychs: One Lens, Two Visions
Diptychs: One Lens, Two Visions presents the works created by two artists: Gory and Adrian, father and son, over a period of time and the relationship between them. Gory (Rogelio Lopez Marin), an important Cuban photographer, shared his camera with his son Adrian Lopez Ballester. These images are the result of this cooperation, and also of their vision. |

April 11 – May 2
Lust in my Heart / Evil in my Mind
The Exotic and Luric art of Richie Fahey
New York City photographer Richie Fahey paints on his pictures in a cold water flat, surrounded by his inspiration: a towering collection of 1930s-1960s musty paperbacks and detective pulp. With the help of a postwar hobbyist's manual, Photo Oil Coloring for Fun and Profit, he learned to transform black and white photographs into glorious color by dabbling with pigments on snapshots from the '40s.
Fahey's Technicolor-like style evokes lobby cards in old movie houses, covers of dimestore novels and star portraits in fan magazines like Screen and Photoplay. In defining his style, Fahey is inspired by the posed photographs from detective magazines, cinematographers of the 1940's-50's like John Alton, portrait photographers such as George Hurrell, and painters and illustrators like Leeteg and James Avanti.
In creating his images, Fahey plays with the noir stereotype of beautiful women gone bad and the men who love them. He is painstaking about stylistic detail.

Linda Copeland
Artist in Residence
Copeland’s art is all about expressing energy. Her paintings lack familiar objects and as a result she invites the viewer to feel the painting emotionally. Rather than trying to interpret the painting, she would like you to simply enjoy the experience, feel the energy and see the beauty. Her process is very physical and it is this form of both bodily and emotional intensity that inspires her. She believes that in our daily life we personally interpret what we see to define the experience we have. Each of us can look at the same object and see something different based on our level of consciousness.
All the art you will view in her gallery studio has the impression of spontaneity. In the first room, you’ll find paintings that use an “all over” technique – there is no definable composition. In the other room is a brand new series called Moondust. |

Jesus Soto.
Penetrable BBL Blue, 1999
Enjoy this spectacular Soto at Durban Segnini new open space in Wynwood. Soto was a Venezuelan artist (1923 – 2005). He was a sculptor and painter and is most famous for his op art and kinetic art works. Soto is particularly well known for his penetrables, interactive sculptures which consist of square arrays of thin, dangling tubes through which observers can walk. It has been said of Soto's art that it is inseparable from the viewer; it can only stand completed in the illusion perceived by the mind as a result of observing the piece.
Durban-Segnini Gallery was founded in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1970 and in Miami, USA in 1992, by its present director and owner Mr. Cesar Segnini.
Durban-Segnini Gallery specializes in contemporary painting and sculpture, emphasizing in artists who have worked with abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction and kinetic art.Simultaneously, the Gallery strives to promote and diffuse new artistic values as well as the historical vanguards that have influenced those.

Roger B. Stillz: Faces of Change
“On January 20th I saw a nation unite like never before. I was amazed on the numbers who came to support President Barack Obama and his inauguration. I felt an energy in the air like no other. I was very cold and my toes were num, but my heart was warm, filled with admiration and hope. Through my photography I wanted to share my journey. Of all inventions for mass communication I believe that pictures still speak the most universally understood language”. Stillz

Pedro Avila Gendis. Ayer y Hoy
A Retrospective
Pedro Avila Gendis was born in Camaguey, Cuba in 1959. His entire education takes place in his native city where he initiates his artistic career as a painter. In 2000 he moves to Portugal, where he becomes renown for his sculpture work.
The strength of his colors and his pictorial palette as well as his compositions, allowed Avila Gendis to quickly position himself as one of the best Cuban representatives of the abstractionism in the art market. Presently, Avila Gendis resides in Miami.
Bruce McQuiston. Sculptures
Bruce McQuiston’s work combines organic forms with figurative reference and a contemporary flow. The pieces are constructed from hurricane salvaged lumber from the South Florida region. His recent Bronze and Aluminum castings utilize the wood pieces as the source for the mold making process. |

 Soimaud, Yes We Can, pigment Ink on glossy photo paper, 2009
|
|
Until May 31
Yes We Did captures the pride of a nation.Whilst most of the country braved frigid temperatures during the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, the ability to truly celebrate belonged to Miami, where residents of the city’s African-American community took to the streets without constraint, in an outpouring of pride and dignity.
Jerome Soimaud offers the visual data of a most significant period in American History. In this photo exhibition, the many faces of joy and celebration amplify the legacy of the Civil Rights movement.
Yes We Did is a component of a year -long series dedicated to Miami’s African Diaspora, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of the often-overlooked working class. This series began with the exhibitions Midtown: Miami B-side and Around Jenin’s.
“Call it urban realism: art made for the Obama era, art that values humble people…” art critic Elisa Turner on Jerome Soimaud.

Timeless. Hernán Cédola.
First floor main gallery.
Pornoramas. Gonzalo Fuenmayor.
Second floor project room.
Hernan Cédola. Timeless is the title of the first exhibition of Argentinean Cédola in US. He is presenting a series of installations of big dimensional (wood sculptural) pencils and oil drawings.
The magnetic connection, between the color pencils and our experience during our learning at school, is the singular charm emerging from this one man show. The change of scale and the meticulous treatment are the bridge, the magic key in the relation between the objects and the people.
Gonzalo Fuenmayor. Fuenmayor is a young Colombian artist living in Miami. Art installation, photography and drawing comprise his presentation. Fuenmayor’ series of Mylar drawings resemble quicksands, more so than drawings. Each drawing is composed of two juxtaposed Mylar sheets drawn on each side, which converge together creating a multilayered landscape.
While the drawings rely on transparencies and layers to present a metaphorical landscape of Banana Republics, the photography and the installation focuses on ideas of visibility, colonization and violence through transient oxidized drawings on bananas.

Ali. Photographs
Erotic and haunting images of the male nude, ranging from his classic statuesque black & white body shots to his more contemporary color-digitized muses.
White Marble Sculptures. Reminiscent of Greek and Roman archeological treasures that are imported from far-away places and are on permanent display. Among the life-size iconic pieces, you’ll find a first century B.C, Hellenistic sculpture of the Laocoon group, originally created by Rhodians, Agesander, Athanadoros and Polydoros. This museum quality sculpture of Laocoon and his sons being strangled by sea serpents depicts the struggle that befell the three when it was believed that the father had offended Poseidon by warning his Trojan compatriots of the strategy of the Trojan Horse.
Collectors will appreciate the museum quality artistic representation of a Cherub Angel holding a small rabbit or the delicate sculpture of a young kneeling Neapolitan Fisher boy, listening to the ocean in a conch sea shell.
Also on view, versions of circular and rectangular stone table tops, encrusted with semi-precious stones which include lapis lazuli and nacre.

 Richard Butler, Nature is Boring, 2009
|
|
Until June 10
Richard Butler. New paintings
Painter Richard Butler continues to explore the series of heads and figures he began earlier this decade. This series of work, which has become a sustained theme for Butler, allows for a very specific consideration of not only his headway as an artist, but also as a running dialogue that can be regarded in a lyrical manner.
Although the expressions and environments that the portrayed characters exist in may be nearly monochrome and conveying somber contemplation, they are fashioned in a very imaginative and composed way. Recurring motifs such as a young girl, a confessional booth, or figures who represent areas of the North Sea all serve as a platform for expounding upon what has come to be expected and how those expectations can be plunged into uncertainty.
Through this approach, Butler’s work can be appreciated as being particularly honest and revealing. The brushwork exposes the amount of investigation of the surface that goes into each work, and throughout the many paintings he has produced in recent years, the decisions are becoming more and more consciously deliberate. |

Laura London. Exposed. Photographs
Laura London is an L.A. based photographer . This is her first solo show with Daniel Azoulay Gallery, she is presenting 10 large scale photographs based on themes of Identity, youth culture & rock-n-roll.
For the Exposed exhibition, she is showing work from the following three series: Couples, Groups and Friends, the True Self: Portrait Series and the Sketch Book Dressing Room Portrait Series.
Since graduating from California Institute of the Arts, photographer Laura London has examined various notions and stereotypes of the feminine. At first glance, her documentary-style photographs of punk rock chicks and other teenage girls may appear to be the work of a social anthropologist. However, these staged teen dramas depicting beauty rituals, fashions and other habits of young girls in bedrooms, bathrooms and shopping malls are narratives constructed by the artist herself.

Asser Saint Val
Asser Saint Val’s oeuvre is fuelled by dedicated research into the chemical and sociological properties of Melanin, a biological compound found in the plant, animal, and protista kingdoms that among other things colors human skin, hair and eyes.
Having conducted encyclopedic studies of what he refers to as ‘the phenomenon of Melanin’ and its manifestation in the world the artist explores the way in which science has previously been used to justify false perceptions concerning people of color. His findings, which draw from research into humans of all races, take the form of paintings often titled after scientists who have worked closely within his area of interest.
Anchored by the presence of legs his various embodiments melanin’s history – part figurative, part something you might see under a microscope – consist of an evocative mixture of media such as acrylic paint, coffee, shoe polish, flour, and food coloring.
