Peter Jooren, Vintage Red, 2010


In celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach Week 2025,
Studio Hue 53 proudly presents Peter Jooren: A Vision Preserved, a rare archival exhibition from the Jooren Studio Collection, on view December 4–6, 2025 in Miami. This extraordinary showcase invites viewers to explore the life’s work of Dutch artist Peter Jooren (1944–2016) — a painter whose imagination, emotion, and curiosity continue to resonate far beyond his time. Art collectors and aficionados are cordially invited to experience the Opening Reception on Thursday, December 4th from 6 – 9pm with a Legacy Talk featuring the first limited-edition release of archival prints offered at an exclusive collectors rate for this evening only. RSVP HERE.


Peter Jooren, Lady, Horse, Jaguar, 1991


Bringing together decades of paintings and drawings, A Vision Preserved reveals the depth and evolution of Jooren’s artistic language — from expressive portraiture and surreal dreamscapes to luminous landscapes that bridge the real and the imagined. His works reflect a mastery of technique rooted in European tradition, yet unbound by convention, embodying an artist ever in pursuit of visual truth and emotional resonance.


Peter Jooren, Dutch Farmer & Cow, 1995


Born in the Netherlands, Jooren studied at the Art Academy in Rotterdam during the mid-1960s, drawing early influence from Dutch masters such as Israëls and Maris. Over the years, his practice expanded to embrace surrealism, sci-fi landscapes, still life, and impressionistic portraiture — a testament to a restless creative spirit. His travels deeply informed his later works, infusing them with cultural depth and global perspective.


Jooren Studio


After his passing in 2016, his family established Jooren Studio to preserve his artistic vision through meticulous archiving, curated exhibitions, and limited-edition fine art prints. Today, their commitment ensures that Peter Jooren’s legacy remains vibrant, continuing to inspire new audiences and generations of artists.




During Art Basel Miami 2025, Peter Jooren: A Vision Preserved becomes not just an exhibition, but an immersive journey through legacy and mindfulness. The program unfolds across three days at Studio Hue 53, founded by Angela Portillo, a creative hub known for fostering community, collaboration, and artistic dialogue.

RENOWNED MIAMI COLLECTOR MARTIN Z. MARGULIES MAKES MAJOR GIFT TO

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale is proud to announce a major gift from renowned Miami collector Martin Z. Margulies of genre-bending Pop artist George Segal’s sculpture Blue Girl on a Black Bench, 1977. Until its recent relocation to NSU Art Museum, this work was placed at the entrance to Margulies’s private residence for decades. Blue Girl on a Black Bench will have its NSU Art Museum premiere on November 16 in the exhibition The Riddle of the Sphinx Part II in conjunction with the public opening of the exhibition Robert Rauschenberg: Real Time.



Blue Girl on a Black Bench, 1977, features one of Segal’s uncanny plaster figures seated alone on a real New York City subway bench. The scene captures the fleeting vision Segal experienced of a young woman waiting on a subway platform before suddenly vanishing from his sight. Segal suggested the transience of this experience by painting only the girl’s left hand in flesh tones. The rest of her body is enveloped in a dream-like blue.

About Rebecca White (b. 1985, American)

Rebecca White works in diverse media, including painting, fiber, and participatory / interactive works; the conceptual underpinnings of her practice frequently connect to mythology, energy work, and esoteric notions such as alchemy and imagined languages. Her work often speaks to issues that have societal relevance, centering the impact these occurrences have on our collective human spirit. She frequently incorporates found natural materials, such as bones, wild clay, branches, into her artworks and installations.



After a brief guided free movement exploration to open the body’s energies, we welcome you to make marks using your choice of graphite or marker on paper, or simple textile manipulations like ripping, scrunching, layering or folding, or earth pigments on textiles using a mineral pigment and soybean ink ‘mud’.With soundscapes and our intuition as our guides, we’ll make marks and then rest deeply in a live sound immersion featuring wind gong, crystal singing pyramid, wayunki and gentle shakers.


Please bring any textiles or fibers you would like to repurpose, along with, scissors, brushes, sponges or stamps, and a yoga mat or blanket for the sound bath.


About Kátia Bandeira (b. 1968, Brazilian)
Kátia Bandeira de Mello is a poet, fiction writer and visual artist born in Rio de Janeiro. Her figurative piece is connected to the Theater of the Absurd and inspired by Franz Kafka’s A Hunger Artist short story as well as elements taken from the texts of Beckett, Camus, Beauvoir and Saramago. The prevalent issue of aesthetics and hedonism in Miami, and the world at large contrasts with the food crisis, the hunger versus obesity paradox that assails the twenty first century in an unprecedented wave.


The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd. The exhibition opened on Friday, Oct.17 with an artist and collector preview. Over 100 years ago Søren Aabye Kierkegaard set the stage for society to look beyond one’s own concerns with the start of Existentialism. Absurdism emerges after the Second World War as the world grappled with the sense of the meaninglessness of life due to an overwhelming indifference for humanity and the suffering of others. For this year’s edition of: Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, and Guests: Don’t Be Absurd, the exploration of Absurdism is done through the hands of fiber artists. Artists were asked to refer to works by: Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Simone De Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett, and Jose Saramago and interpret the writings into circular fiber responses. This exhibition is on view October 17 — December 20, 2025. The run of the exhibition will include several in-gallery art talks, workshops and conversations about fiber art with both artists and curators. CAMP Gallery is located in North Miami at 791-793 NE 125 Street in Miami, Florida 33161. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11am – 5pm. Private visits can be scheduled by emailing hello@thecampgallery.com or calling 786-953-8807.


About Emily Peters

Emily Peters departs from the nihilistic take of Absurdist philosophy in her fiber response to the literary classic,The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. Her final work expresses the heroic journey through earth's pigments and copper.
