@bev_fishman’s bold, polychromatic wall works meditate on the many parallels that can be drawn between #pharmaceuticals and art. Like taking a pill, an experience with art is often brief yet has the ability to induce a response that runs deep within in one’s being. Fishman’s vivid #geometric reliefs may not take on the overt physical appearance of #pills, but are representative of how pharmaceutical companies utilize #aesthetic appeal in their products to offer the promise of a better reality. Each optically alluring and carefully crafted shape stacked within her compositions is assigned an ailment denoted by the title of the work. With all of the chaos surrounding the Covid #vaccine and health care concerns rampant as a result of the pandemic, Fishman’s slick, subtle sculptural paintings provide a moment of relief, drug-free.

GAVLAK Palm Beach is thrilled to present, (....): , the artist’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, opening January 23, 2021. For this exhibition, Alvarez created new large-scale mixed-media works on his signature mica, each dedicated to his late partner, the Amazing Randi. Working in both new and familiar techniques, including watercolor collage, Alvarez aims to leave us inspired, “to feel that the work leaves you with a broader vision of yourself.“ Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.)

Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.): opens Saturday, January 2nd at the @nortonmuseumofart! The exhibition showcases a moving selection of nearly 30 ink portraits created by Venezuelan, South Florida-based artist Jose Alvarez during his time in Miami’s Krome immigration detention center in 2011. The artist, who was arrested for immigration violations after his visa expired, completed a series of portraits of fellow detainees while fighting for his freedom. The subjects’ personal histories will be presented alongside their portraits. At the time of Alvarez’s detention in 2011, his large-scale, site-specific installation was on view at the Norton as part of (April 2 – July 17, 2011), a major group exhibition. @josealvarezdopa’s fascination with the pre-modern and the mythic is reflected in his use of organic, “non-ordinary” materials and his taste for elaborate, epic imagery. His acrylics and watercolors are strewn with porcupine quills, feathers, crystals and shimmering mica. Mixed-media fantasies offer up a densely packed cosmic biology. Alvarez’s works are visionary maximalist masterpieces: super-saturated Miró-esque dreamscapes that posit unsettling questions about the nature of visual reality and the interaction of art and consciousness. Save the date: Alvarez’s upcoming solo exhibition opens on January 23rd at GAVLAK Palm Beach!

Welcome 2020-2021 New Wave Artists-in-Residence! Estelle Maisonett (@elle915) is a Mexican Puerto Rican mixed-media artist born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Her work is an investigation of how personal relationships to objects and materials inform preconceived notions of identity, economic status, accessibility, race, sexual orientation, and gender. Estelle’s residency starts tomorrow, and ends January 2021. Wishing her luck! Joiri Minaya (@joiriminaya, b. 1990) is a Dominican-United Statesian multi-disciplinary visual artist based in New York, whose works destabilize historic and contemporary representations of an imagined tropical identity. Joiri will be in residence early Spring 2021. Estelle and Joiri will both have virtual studio visits as a part of the NEW WAVE VIP program, proceeds from which directly benefit the New Wave Artist-in-Residence Program; DM @newwaveartwknd or visit the website to make a donation and secure your spot before the 2020 program begins next weekend!
