I am participating in this exhibition among other local artist to reconsider what we call “the real.” to return, to recharge, to renew. To let the work remind you of what it means to be reshaped, reawakened, remembered…

After the energy and acclaim of our Preview, the exhibition now extends to a broader circle and hors d'oeuvres, with honored guests such as the Argentinian Consulate, Mayors, and South Florida district commissioners joining us.

Curated by Marcelo Llobell and assistant curator Sofia Aviles, and selected by Panal 361 coordinated by Silvana Ovsejevich for residence at El Granero at Chateau d'Ancón, this exhibition brings together 16 artists whose work re-challenges the established. Valeria Yamamoto and Marina Gonella re-evolved their artistic practice as residents in Mendoza, Argentina. All of the artists are showcasing exceptional projects alongside the residents. The exhibition features a scenery of photography, sculptures, screen printing, painting, mixed media and of this ilk.

The Show will be on view until  October 5th. 
I hope you can make it

Introducing some paintings I made recently that belong to my Accumulation series /  by Pablo Contrisciani

I wanted to introduce you to some pieces I made recently. They belong to a series of artworks I created some years ago, which I call the Accumulation series

They are very rich in texture and color. I used mixed media techniques in several layers and accumulation using different materials to provoke optical effects and create a tactile experience.

These artworks can be perceived as reliefs or as paintings. They are related to the sculptures of John Chamberlain. The point in this body of work is not that painting and sculpture are intimately linked, but that painting and sculpture exist only in relationship to the viewer.

Introducing some paintings that I created several years ago in New York when I arrived in the US! /  by Pablo Contrisciani

Hi! I hope you are doing very well in this winter season!
I wanted to introduce you to some Paintings that came back to me. They belong to a series of artworks I created several years ago in New York when I arrived in the US!  

I call this series: Mystical Landscapes, I only have two paintings from this collection, the rest of the artworks produced in those years were sold. I think it's a great opportunity for my collectors to acquire the only two survival paintings from those series!

A fantastic trip to Argentina with my daughter Leilah for New Year's, visiting Buenos Aires and seeing a lot of arts /  by Pablo Contrisciani

For New Year's, I was traveling to visit family in Argentina with my 11-year-old daughter Leilah. We had a great time there. We also went to Buenos Aires for a few days, where we visited one of her favorite places: The Japanese Garden. We could visit too: San Telmo, Plaza Dorrego, Puerto Madero, Avenida 9 de Julio, el Obelisco, Paseo de Retiro, Calle Florida, Plaza de Mayo, etc. 

We could also see some Visual Arts in Centro Cultural Recoleta, some art galleries, and private collections, like this amazing sculpture: Mama Luchona, 2021 by Gabriel Chaile, (picture) symbol of Life and fertility based on the old aboriginal cultures from the northeast of Argentina. There were in the same building some outstanding art pieces and installations by the group Mondongo: The Baptistery of Colors, two of the Untitled Skulffs series, and the Dollar Bill made by nails.

It was a very cool trip. I strongly recommend Buenos Aires.
 
Thanks. 
Pablo

Join me tomorrow from 6-9 pm at Laundromat Art Space for Erin Parish’s Opening Reception: "Submerged Realities: People Ain’t No Good." It is also Resident Artist Open Studio. /  by Pablo Contrisciani

Join me tomorrow, Saturday, January 11th from 6-9 pm at Laundromat Art Space:.185 Ne 59 st Miami FL 33137, to the Opening Reception of Erins' exhibition:” Submerged Realities”. It is also Resident Artist Open Studio Night. I will be in my Art Studio showing my latest artwork!

Erins' exhibition is an immersive installation that confronts the environmental and emotional consequences of ocean dumping and humanity’ neglect of marine ecosystems. Originating as a buy-nothing project, the exhibition explores parallels between the chaos within our minds and the disorder we inflict upon the natural world.

Erin Parish created the installation as a multisensory experience that immerses visitors in a marine-like environment filled with Assisted Readymades, a la Duchamp. Visitors navigate the gallery amidst strategically placed obstacles, evoking feelings of discomfort, vulnerability, and reflection. During the reception, formal lighting Will be absent, compelling guests to use cellphone flashlights to illuminate sculptures, evocative of the murky depths of the sea. The deliberate aesthetic reflects the psychological turmoil often experienced in a world marked by environmental degradation.

Each piece in Submerged Realities carries a personal narrative. Returning to storytelling in her art, Parish draws on her life experiences and objects, a departure from her upbringing that discouraged personal exposure in creative work.

Inspired by the stories of fellow transplanted Miami artists, Parish allows herself to be seen in ways previously unexplored. The exhibition’s sculptures are crafted from personal artifacts: syringes, medicine bottles, a particular childhood lamp, an 1880s wooden wheelchair, a faux hearth, a set of dining chairs, shopping cart, flatscreen TV, deer antlers, her grandfather’s Art Deco clock, her boxing hand wraps, her grandmother’s hats, and family photos

Thanks. I hope you can make it!
