Fabien Castanier Gallery presents Hermes Berrio 'The Extravagance of the Quotidian'

The Extravagance of the Quotidian Hermes Berrio solo exhibition February 8 - 29, 2020 OPENING RECEPTIONS WITH THE ARTIST Wynwood | Saturday, February 8th @ 6pm Little River Progressive Art Brunch | Sunday, February 16th @ 11am

Fabien Castanier Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition for Colombian, Miami-based artist, Hermes Berrio. The exhibition, The Extravagance of the Quotidian, is on view February 8 – 29, and will be held in both gallery locations. The show will commence with a reception in Wynwood on Saturday, February 8, and will have a subsequent opening in Little River on Sunday, February 16 with the Progressive Art Brunch event. This is the first solo exhibition for Hermes Berrio at the gallery, featuring a new series of large-scale paintings. For The Extravagance of the Quotidian, Hermes Berrio captures the significance from his everyday life, relating it with a grand scope that emphasizes both the mundane and the extraordinary. With reality as the foundation to his practice, Berrio creates a vibrant narrative and a personal reflection on the world. Finding inspiration in these unusual and yet commonplace experiences, the artist explores the complexity of such simple moments and renders them on a monumental scale. He has re-imagined, re-arranged, and metamorphosed visions of a cultural and personal landscape, seeking new ways to interpret one's truth visually. Hermes Berrio (b. 1980, Colombia) studied art formally in New York, and has since grown his artistic career in Miami. In recent years, he has participated in group and solo exhibitions around the world for galleries and institutions in the U.S. and Colombia, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Australia, and Canada. He's also completed a number of murals, with the most recent installations throughout the city of Miami. In 2018 he was awarded a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and in 2019 from the Ruth and Harold Chenven Foundation. He continues to evolve his practice, investigating new processes and mediums, while challenging contemporary expectations with his prodigious compositions. A catalog work is available, please contact the gallery for more information. IMAGE: Hermes Berrio | "A La Mode" fabrics, acrylic, collage, gold leaf on canvas, 96 x 80 in. (244x203cm)

Dimensions Variable presents Ouroboros: Emanuel Ribas

Emanuel Ribas

Experience the Opening Reception of the exhibition Ouroboros, featuring artist Emanuel Ribas at Dimensions Variable tonight Saturday, January 25th from 6-10pm. Emanuel Ribas’ work is procedural, layered, and expressive in nature and in many ways a reflection of himself. Rather than communicating with words, or using some kind of visual narrative to illustrate a story or moment in time, he’s driven by an innate desire to use materials that are often seen in the home and workplace. These materials, when taken apart and manipulated over a period of time, are then combined to create an assemblage that encompasses various elements of his history, identity, and psychology. The exhibition runs from January 25 through March 14, 2020.

For the project gallery at Dimensions Variable (DV), Ribas will explore the idea that the beginning and end—to something, to someone—can be one and the same. Very similarly, his process of material exploration has no endpoint and no beginning. Like the period at the end of a sentence both conclude a statement and connect to the other sentences in a paragraph, the artwork in its “final” state represents both the conclusion of a process and an invitation to whatever comes next—the beginning of something else. So, when confronted with the possibilities of what is deemed the beginning or end we should look at it in the form of a continuous cycle, an ouroboros.

Dimensions Variable is located at 101 NW 79th Street
in Miami, Florida 33150.

If I see a stain or peeled paint on a weathered surface, I need to take a picture of it for later use. I have hundreds of these inspirational photos on my phone from random places. I like to look at them to absorb them into my subconscious, to come out in unexpected ways on the canvas," explained Aday.

Experience JonOne "Colors of the Uprising" at Fabien Castanier Gallery

Colors of the Uprising JonOne solo exhibition November 26, 2019 - February 1, 2020 NOW ON VIEW THROUGH SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1

Fabien Castanier Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition for urban contemporary artist JonOne, Colors of the Uprising. This is the fifth solo exhibition for JonOne at the gallery, featuring new paintings on canvas. JonOne brings to Miami his latest body of work, a revelatory examination of moments grand and intimate through the masterful use of movement and color. As the quintessential graffiti-turned-gallery artist, JonOne continues to present impactful compositions that demonstrate an innate understanding of dynamic form through the harnessing of his own vibrant energy. Delving into his past and conjuring the abstract expressionism of his roots, these new paintings lend a glimpse into a chaotic yet balanced vision. His pieces are encounters – the story of conflicts, strife, and ultimate triumph both within ourselves and in our ever-changing modern world. TOP: JonOne | "Game Over" ink and acrylic on canvas, 45 x 41.5 in. (114x105cm) Presently, JonOne (b. 1963, New York) stands at the forefront of the urban contemporary art movement. His work has influenced a generation of both graffiti and contemporary artists, having built an impressive oeuvre in the past 30 years. His story begins in Harlem, New York in the 1980s, where as a youth he faced the struggles of finding an outlet for his artistic drive. Seeking freedom and self-expression, he began painting on the streets and on train cars. His current aesthetic can be traced back to this visual foundation of his childhood – the blurred images and colors from graffiti flashing before his eyes as the trains moved past. He was always different, bringing paint brushes instead of spray cans to tag the streets. When he was only 20 years old, he moved to Paris, a place that accepted him artistically and allowed him to develop his graffiti roots in a community that welcomed the proverbial outsider. Establishing his life in France, he has since evolved his career and reputation for the past three decades with a unique style, unparalleled in his genre. JonOne has worked on a number of collaborations and projects in recent years, lending original designs of his style to notable companies, such as Perrier, Air France, Lacoste, Guerlain, Hennessy, and LG. He has also exhibited at several important galleries and institutions, including the Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art and the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2015, he was given the Legion of Honor from France, celebrating the achievement with a painting "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" which was unveiled at the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the French National Assembly.

The Beloved Dog-Themed Art of South Florida Artist Skip Hartzell

Port Saint Lucie-based artist Skip Hartzell creates unique art inspired by man’s best friend. His inspiration comes in the form of a morning walk, accompanied by a furry friend. The canine-inspired artworks that he creates are figments of his artistic imagination and creative vision. Hartzell creates directly from his emotions and instincts, his work is inspired by dogs of all shapes, sizes and varieties.

Artist Skip Hartzell in his art studio with his dogs

Hartzell creates large paintings and works on paper that capture the essence of “dog”. He is best known for his unique sculptures recognized immediately by their distinct form and style that only Hartzell can produce.

‘Violet Dog’, Papercrete and Resin, 28 x 14 x 8 Inches

“Dogs are always in the moment. Although nothing in life has held my attention longer or has been more fascinating to me than dogs, my work is about much more than that. It is about form, movement, color and texture. The dogs are a recognizable common denominator that allows me to communicate my joy of living, passions and sentiments,” explained Skip Hartzell.

‘Litter’, Flashe & Graphite on Paper, 42 x 60 Inches

Whether he’s painting or sculpting, Hartzell’s dogs have a wonderful quality of friendliness about them, and it’s hard to keep yourself from reaching out to touch. And that’s perfectly okay with Hartzell. He’s never been one to place a rope around his artwork.

‘Dog Collar #2’, Resin and Steel, 36 x 12 Inches

“The texture is so important because the tactile experience of sculpture is so primal for me,” he says. “You grab with your hands and just start to mush things together and get your fingers on the materials, and there is just such a richness to the feel.” He says whenever he’s doing a show, he is quick to hand his sculptures to the patrons so they can enjoy the feeling, too. And whether it’s paint on canvas or sculpture, the texture is one of the most captivating and inviting parts of experiencing his artwork. Hartzell may not set out to mimic the look of someone’s beloved pet, but he says his sculptures and paintings often evoke a fond memory of a furry family member.

Happy Skip Hartzell Collectors at Art Palm Beach 2019

The artist has held numerous solo exhibitions at notable art galleries and prestigious art fairs such as Art Palm Beach, A.E. Backus Museum, ArtHouse 429, Paul Fisher Gallery, Aqua Art Fair during Art Basel Miami Beach and many more.

‘Swimmer #2’, Flashe on Canvas, 72 x 72 Inches

“If you love dogs, you are going to love Skip Hartzell’s soulful pieces. His work is representative of caricature features of dogs,” said J. Marshall Adams, the executive director of the A.E. Backus Museum and Gallery in Historic Downtown Fort Pierce where Hartzell has held exhibitions.
