Li Xiaofeng, Dream Series #1, 2006-2008. Porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties,
68 x 39 ½ x 16 ½ in |

Until February 28th
SAVE AS: Contemporary Chinese Art Born of Ancient Traditions
Cao Xiaodong and Li Xiaofeng
The country’s first major exhibition of paintings by Cao Xiaodong and porcelain sculpture by Li Xiaofeng.
Although his computerized screen-pattern technique and compositions clearly place Xiaodong in the sphere of contemporary art, his use of traditional tones and the sense of nostalgia from the newspaper and magazine photos he reproduces cause critics to link his unique style with ancient watercolor and ink landscapes. He is well known in China for his 500-portrait mural of Chinese who were famous from 1911 to 1949.
Li Xiaofeng, a 43-year-old Beijing artist, has found a way to link his contemporary work with traditional Chinese art stretching back to the 10th Century. In his art, the links are literal: he sews shards of porcelain from the Song, Ming, Yuan, and Qing dynasties on a leather undergarment to created full-length dresses and men’s jackets, complete with neckties. |

César Paternosto
Painting and Sculpture 1970 – 2008
Born in Argentina in 1931, César Paternosto has exhibited widely in Latin America and abroad. Since he began working as an artist in the early 1960s, Paternosto has been in the vanguard of abstraction in Latin America. An expert on the symbolic systems of Pre-Columbian civilizations, Paternosto has used his own photography and drawings to document and analyze the ancient remains of the region. Paternosto's exploration of Amerindian abstraction has fueled his artistic work of the last twenty years.
"[...] Ever since the early 1930s, when Alexander Calder visited Piet Mondrian's studio and had that marvelous vision of imagining his neat rectangles as if they were flying through space, nobody had achieved a similar effect to the one conceived and executed by Paternosto with his pictures painted on the sides of the canvas, with the resulting effect described earlier, of glowing weightlessness."
Francisco Calvo Serraller, The Edge of Light, in César Paternosto, exhibition catalogue; Segovia: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente, 2004.

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.
Carbonell: “Modern Master Sculptor” will be on exhibit at the Ligthhouse Center for the Arts from January 8th thru the 31st. Opening reception on January 8, 5:30 to 7:30 pm at 373 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida 33469. |

Group Exhibition showing recent artworks by contemporary artists courtesy of Blink Fine Art* and El Tigre Celeste**.
The four artists from El tigre Celeste are: Celeste Najt, Nicolás Sobrero, Julieta Rodrigué and Martín Bonadeo. They reflect the emerging Argentine creative spirit, inviting the viewer to share their perspectives.
Celeste Najt, founder of El tigre Celeste, has an intimate look, which she shares by reflecting on what goes beyond the geographical limits of her body and country. In her work, we can see how the Argentine cohabits with the Oriental and the European. Nicolás Sobrero grabs what he can reach; he digests it, and redefines it. The street signs, a typical Argentine image, reflect what’s left from the 2001 crisis. Martín Bonadeo’s work moves when we come closer to it. It changes, returning the look towards the viewer, recognizing its physical presence, and creating a dialog that exists only in the visual secret. Julieta Rodrigué wonders how certain types of species in our cities – full of lights, danger, and noise – might evolve. In her works, she sculpts and colors what she envisions: a small group of urban insects of compact shapes and a city design for their skins.
