The Caribbee Club: ⁠⁠
JUAN HENRIQUEZ; VERSIÓN DEL CODO⁠⁠
August 23rd, 2021 – November 8th, 2021⁠⁠
Frank Lynn Gallery⁠⁠
This exhibition gathers a selection of paintings by local contemporary artist Juan Henriquez. In the works, the organic, energetic strokes of a rich palette and loose compositions contrast with the titles, made up of very concise phrases, often imbued with humor. As mini-stories, they open a window to the artist’s universe of references and widen the spectrum of associations in the mind of the viewer. Henriquez says: “The sequence of actions in the work’s execution is a string that holds itself together. Spots and strokes are shaped and coupled, creating a gestural and visceral narrative of my daily life and my immediate pleasure. Color adds sound and creates graphical situations in which I immerse myself expecting a more narrative than aesthetic result.“⁠⁠

INSIDE THE CORAL GABLES MUSEUM: ⁠⁠
"Watercolors & Bronzes: Richard Saul Wurman"⁠⁠
Carole A. Fewell Gallery | August 6 - November 8, 2021⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Regarding his motivation for working with bronze, Wurman explains, “The pandemic made it so that I couldn’t go out to get more frames for paintings, but I could get deliveries of plasticine. I had never created any sculpture until that point in time, and I rather liked it. I had studied cire perdue, the lost-wax process, and was fascinated by this mysterious and complex process.” ⁠⁠
