Adamar South at  Pop n’Art is pleased to present for the first time the work of Michael Moon, Zammy Migdal, Rosmar Santanal and Moshe Elimelech.For Michael Moon, painting is a creative experience which translates into a spiritual exercise.  Influenced by Eastern thought and meditation, Moon integrates Eastern and Western thought in the symbolism of his paintings. Moshe Elimelech’s cubic constructions encourages the viewer’s participation, each work  carries a distinctive composition by the artist, but each component cube can be individually rotated to create different potential compositions

Zammy Migdal works with scrapped and raw metal and finds the essence of movement in his work influenced by his interest and active support of contemporary dance.  Zammy’s most recent large commission is a 15 foot sculpture for the Temple Beth Am, Miami FL.

PRAISING  AUTUMN
A captivating gathering of 35 artworks by 23 Cuban artists is now on view at La Barbacoa, (second floor exhibition space)

And for the inquisitive viewer, pay close attention to the 1981 absorbing piece, Landscape with Proximity, by Tomás Sánchez.

The Americas Collection is proud to present  Laberintos /  Labyrinths by one of our most talented and creative artist, Jorge Cavelier.

“A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. It represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world”

All throughout his artistic career, Cavelier has purposely drawn inspiration from the heart of one of the most striking landscapes, which happens to be located in his native country Colombia. By first observing, then experiencing and ultimately becoming part of that nature, the artist leaves behind his comfort zone and any point of reference from his familiar world in order to fully understand what it means to lose himself to then emerge spiritually renewed and forever changed.

For the first time, this artist masterfully transfers his pictorial language into the three dimensional world of sculpture.

Jorge M. Sori Fine Art is proud to present a solo exhibit of renowned Brazilian artist Meziat. He ranks among the top notch realist contemporary painters, influenced by the works of Chilean Claudio Bravo and Cuban American Julio Larraz among others.Well cultured, attentive observer of the different "realities" that surround him, skilled in the handling of shades and colors, self-taught, who was born to paint, he searches in art the means to becoming a man of the 21st century.

Meziat shows his work with remarkable simplicity and elegance. His paintings are, many times, successful at making us smile. Never academic, his composition are always well balanced and sophisticated.

Geometry in art was never a concept without precedence, but the geometric abstraction which emerges as vanguard art between the two World Wars was, a tendency which gained strength and projected itself into other countries outside the European continent towards the end of the second one of these wars, especially, and with great impetus, in Latin America.

The artists that are represented in this exhibition are part of a broad spectrum of geometry—each of them obviously with his own unique creative style and technique—.

Cesar Garcia’s affinity for the “old world” is evident throughout his entire body of work. Monochromatic colors, with paint dripping in an abandoned method adding to the enchantment. “Other-worldly” medieval castles will captivate your attention and just when you think you’ve interpreted his work you discover an element of surprise, a hint of the future, medieval and futuristic worlds brought together on one canvas after another.
