South Florida Visual Artist Amauri Torezan Inspires Us With His Minimalist, Retro Abstract Style

 

'Magic City', 60 x 60 inches, acrylic on canvas

Brazilian-born artist Amauri Torezan creates impressive geometric and organic compositions evoking a sense of depth, as though the flatly painted shapes were eternally suspended in space. His influences range from the work of the pioneers of abstract art to the Brazilian modernists, not only in the visual arts, but also architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and the landscape designer/painter Roberto Burle Marx. 

The Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale features Amauri Torezan’s graphic mural in Sparrow’s wraparound terrace. Photography by Bob Gundu.

In his work, shapes and lines seem to float around each other as if they were suspended in space. Layers of contrasting colors enhance the exuberant depth effect, creating a sensation of vibrant life.

Torezan’s works have been exhibited at The Baker Museum, Coral Springs Museum of Art as well as in art galleries and international art fairs. Torezan has painted monumental murals in the Wynwood Arts District and the luxury hotel The Dalmar.

Among his artistic collaborations are monumental public murals and partnerships with brands such as the Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer.

Torezan’s art is held in corporate and private collections worldwide.

‘Dissociative’, 48” x 36”, oil paint, acrylic paint, and ink on canvas (Framed)

Joseph R. Yonke was trained from a young age by the well-known painter Robert Yonke, his Grandfather, who served as a source of inspiration and mentorship for the artist. His unique abstract-expressionist style captures elements of surrealism and cubism, combined with his impasto technique – Yonke’s work has captivated art critics and enthusiasts worldwide. His vibrant and often chaotic paintings reflect his experiences and significant moments in his life and explore themes of identity, emotion, consciousness, and the human condition.

Contemporary Artist Joseph R. Yonke

Yonke is known for his bold use of color and his dedication to the pieces he creates. He grew up painting and submersed within the creative process, but for the last two years, he invested in his career as a full-time artist and is already seeing the rewards. In this short span of time, Joseph has established a name for himself as a rising art star in the United States. He developed a high-profile collector base in and out of the country after completing his first solo exhibition last year in Pittsburgh. His work and journey were also featured in notable publications such as Digital Journal and LA Weekly, Chicago Journal and the New York Weekly. LA Weekly recognized Joseph for his rising fame in the art world and his prominent style. Collectors have him on their radar, many notable names and luminaries in the art world recognize his talent and skills. Joseph is looking forward to sharing his art with more people worldwide.

‘Cadmium Cory’, 48” x 36”, acrylic and oil on canvas

About the work for the upcoming exhibition, “There was a lot I observed about people and myself over the last couple of years. Over this time, I spent the majority of it alone, which is not a hyperbole, so I analyzed what I am about to expand upon adequately. I considered how I and others interact with the people and general society they reside in. Hence my subject matter of interest solidified to portraits. I considered the complexities of the self and identity through those who have been a part of my life in some capacity, along with frequent introspection.”

‘KoFWSTKWUTB’, 48” x 36”, oil paint, acrylic paint, ink, and oil stick on canvas

“At first, my conclusions often frustrated me, thinking that people, especially in my generation, have a profound proclivity to be disingenuous and superficial, therefore diverging from any real source of human connection we all inherently crave. But besides the negative aspects of people and their tendencies, they are dynamic, beautiful, and extremely complex, vastly impacted by their environments, which is what I attempted to represent visually as these observations alone are so captivating,” stated the artist.

‘Portrait 286’ 48” x 30”, oil paint, acrylic paint, and ink on canvas

“Being a young person in your twenties is quite an interesting time in life regarding personal development. For example, you begin to analyze the intricacies of your relationships. When I would ponder things such as who truly cared about me, I deliberated the various regards they had towards me. Then a similar process was operated when I observed the utilization of different personalities and filters individuals employ based on who they are interacting with.”

‘Blue Woman’, 48” x 36”, oil ink and acrylic paint on canvas

“It seems as though many people today, especially in the younger generation(s), have the proclivity to be filtered. More specifically to this body of work, to visually represent these interests facilitated through a dance with the identity and self, I often incorporate either multiple faces, mouths, or eyes onto a single figure or portrait. If the subject has multiple eyes, they alter how they see a person based on who they are viewing; if mouths, they alter the way they speak depending on who they are speaking to or what they prefer to convey to others; if faces, they interchange their persona also due to the context of their present situation.”

‘Home City’, 48” x 36″, oil paint, acrylic paint, and oil stick on canvas

“The backgrounds also play a role in this visual conversation since I attempted to represent how the environment people find themselves in, which tend to be impactful and chaotic, affects people as well. And while this may seem critical, I am not really disparaging it either because self-imposed filters can be warranted. Since what I referred to relates to intimacy, I will also mention that the portraits I paint are distorted for a reason; the reasoning behind the distortion is that it catalyzes the possibilities of the viewer identifying someone they know and therefore can ultimately relate to, hence painting a more broadly identifiable face is my method in doing so,” explained Yonke of his art.

‘Is that a Halo?’, 48” x 30”, oil and acrylic on canvas

Yonke’s work integrates paint and self-expression while exploring and discovering the self and the unknown, communicating internal human struggles and how they are then projected into the world through visual representation. “I try to reimagine the human face or figure, incorporate its being into its surroundings, and give those surroundings a new life and resemblance,” said the artist.

‘Thursday Night’, 60” x 48”, oil paint, acrylic paint, ink and oil stick on canvas

Joseph R. Yonke‘s solo exhibition opens in the heart of the Wynwood Art District on Saturday, July 29th from 6-11pm at Lelia Mordoch Gallery located at 2300 N. Miami Avenue. Sunday, July 30th by appointment only, please email rabinartgallery@gmail.com.
