This summer, as guests walk into the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami's Wynwood Art District, they will be greeted by a newly-commissioned installation by Bakehouse artist Alain Castoriano, Tropical Storm, on view in the atrium.
Tropical Storm explores the power of natural events, particularly, their ability to transform the places through which they pass in the span of a few short moments. Through Alain's dynamic use of color and composition, he has worked to expand the visual vocabulary of his practice beyond the limits of a canvas, creating a conversation between different surfaces and the larger space.
When asked about the making of Tropical Storm, Alain commented, "When I was asked to exhibit some of my works in the atrium of Bakehouse, I immediately considered the very beautiful overhead light of this space. I realized that, given its size, I wanted to occupy the space in a dynamic way, rather than simply hanging a few paintings on the wall."
Escape the summer heat! Come by to see Alain's installation and visit the Bakehouse artists in their studios, Bakehouse Art Complex is located at 561 NW 32nd Street in Miami, Florida 33127.
