The highly anticipated 'Innnerscapes and Landscapes' art show at Sirona Fine Art Opens on April 11, 2015.

Join us at Sirona Fine Art for the Opening Reception of Innerscapes and Landscapes on Saturday, April 11, 2015 from 6-9pm. This highly anticipated show features two of Miami’s rising art stars, Jean-Paul Mallozzi and John Sanchez. The exhibition runs from April 11th through May 10, 2015 at Sirona Fine Art in The Village at Gulfstream Park – 600 Silks Run #1240 in Hallandale Beach, Florida 33009. Please rsvp: info@sironafineart.com

Jean-Paul Mallozzi was born and raised in Queens NYC, and received a scholarship to attend the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). He graduated with B.F.A in Illustration. His works have been exhibited in galleries and museums nationally and internationally including Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Jean-Paul’s work balances the fine line of combining highly rendered figures with abstract areas of color. While emotions are amorphous, they evoke a color and a vibration that physically resonates within people. The incorporation of iridescence and animal familiars takes the figures out of the mundane and into a world where a veil between realities is pulled away. 

John Sanchez was born in Passaic, NJ and grew up in the blue-collar town of North Bergen New Jersey. His upbringing is the origin of the working-class attitude he brings to his work. He blends traditional painting techniques with a contemporary subject matter, creating paintings of those seemingly unremarkable moments that urge to be contemplated in all their reality. 

Sanchez attributes the bulk of his training from the prestigious Arts Student’s League of New York and is a graduate of Miami International University of Art & Design, and holds a Masters of Fine Art degree from Florida International University. His work has caught the attention of collectors including Debra and Dennis Scholl, Bill Bilowit and Grela Orihuela and Tom and Trish Kennedy. He is also in the permanent collection of the Perez Art Museum in Miami, the Frost Art Museum at FIU as well as having an international following. He lives and works in South Florida. 

Sirona Fine Art is a grand showcase located at The Village at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. The gallery is ideal for artists who embrace classic academic structure and technique, yet have an understanding and facility within the modernist landscape in which their work is viewed. Art can appeal to the senses, the emotions and the intellect equally or separately, as long as it connects. Creators who skillfully present their ideas and personalities, constructed with a masterly hand, these are the artists Sirona Fine Art represent.

Sirona Fine Art Presents An Army Of World-Class Artists

Sirona Fine Art, PoetsArtists Magazine and over 40 prominent male and female artists collaborate in this ambitious online, print and gallery exhibition.

Sirona Fine Art presents 'The Artist's Gaze: Seeing Women in the 21st Century' Exhibition Feb.21 - Mar.15, 2015

Hallandale Beach, Florida -- February 10, 2015 -- Miami Art Scene™ announces Sirona Fine Art’s high profile art exhibition ‘The Artist’s Gaze: Seeing Women in the 21st Century’, from Saturday, February 21 – Sunday, March 15, 2015 in the heart of The Village at Gulfstream Park.

The show presents an outstanding group exhibit featuring over 40 prominent male and female artists’ original figurative works. The Opening Reception takes place from 6-9pm on Saturday, February 21st and includes complimentary cocktails and hor d’oeuvres. Please rsvp to: info@sironafineart.com

“'The Artist’s Gaze: Seeing Women in the Twenty-first Century' focuses on those who seek to capture the reality and complexity of the women they choose to see,” says Curator Victoria Selbach. “The female form can be compelling appropriated as a talisman, simply an object of beauty, a call to desire, an icon of popular culture, a visage to portray a fetish in the artists personal fantasy, a character in a larger narrative, a stand in weighted with mythological symbolism and allegory, or a plaything for creative virtuosity.”

Didi Menendez created PoetsArtists Magazine, an exceptional aesthetic presentation of current, masterful visual art that she combines with new and elegant works of poetry. 'The Artist's Gaze' show began as an online/print presentation in this magazine, and grew into a museum-worthy exhibition, hosted by Sirona Fine Art. Menendez is providing free access for press and collectors to view the entire issue of Poets/Artist Magazine 'The Gaze' for a limited time via: http://www.blurb.com/b/5972764-the-artist-s-gaze-seeing-women-in-the-21st-century

These contemporary sculptures and paintings are introspective, provocative, sensitive and declamatory visual statements. PoetsArtists magazine publishes the artwork in a dynamic printed and digital issue along with compelling artist statements and essays to match the visual talents involved. Artists included in the exhibition are: Aleah Chapin, Alison Lambert, Alyssa Monks, Bernardo Torrens, Brian Booth Craig, Cesar Santos, Christian Johnson, Cindy Bernhard, Daliah Lina Ammar, Daniel Maidman, Delita Martin, Dorielle Caimi, Erica Elan Ciganek, Erin Anderson, Hollis Dunlap, Jaime Valero, Jason Bard Yarmosky, Jeff Faerber, Jennifer Balkan, Judith Peck, Krista Smith, Lauren Levato Coyne, Maria Kreyn, Mark Horst, Marshall Jones, Mary Beth McKenzie, Matthew Cherry, Melinda Whitmore, Mia Bergeron, Michelle Doll, Nadine Robbins, Nick Ward, Park Hyun Jin, Patrick Earl Hammie, Reuben Negron, Richard Thomas Scott, Ryan Shultz, Stephen Early, Stephen Wright, Susannah Martin, Tim Okamura, Victoria Selbach, Wesley Wofford and Will Kurtz.

“I was attracted to the ‘Artist’s Gaze’ show from the sheer level of talent that was proposed, a small army of world-class artists and a universally relevant and important theme,” said Timothy Smith, Gallery Director of Sirona Fine Art.

Mixed Media Artist Vito Bonanno

Rising art star Vito Bonanno is a nationally recognized artist with autism spreading the word through his art that autism is a creative and magical gift. Bonanno is best known for his unique storyboard, grid-like artwork filled with colorful characters, objects and ideas that act and interact in striking ways. He is considered an outsider artist whose work is highly coveted by collectors and art aficionados worldwide. His style is edgy with a graffiti-esque, urban vibe. Bonanno's art has been exhibited in countless art exhibitions and shows, and he has participated in a myriad of art competitions and contests.

Bonanno was diagnosed with PDD/Autism just before his 4th birthday. Language delayed, his parents and teachers developed strategies that tapped into his high visual acuity, utilizing storyboard styles to relay academic and social information to Vito. He was also encouraged to draw in storyboard format to express his feelings. The storyboard grid remains prominent in his work today and is a poignant reminder of a boy who was trapped in his mind, but through the tireless work of professionals and undaunting support of his family, has been given the opportunity to develop into a highly functioning, young man who has learned to take the information trapped in his head and transform it into art that contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts and dreams.

He remembers it was his dreams that motivated him to draw. “My disability helps me remember things like my dreams, but it also doesn’t let me forget - so both good and unpleasant things remain in my head always and I have to live everyday with all that stuff in my head," explains Bonanno. "Some of it I will end up obsessing about, so drawing these things helps me get this stuff out of my head for a while.”

"Vito Bonanno’s art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts and dreams, coupled around objects or topics that 'get stuck in his head', including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans and graffiti. His work is image and concept driven and may incorporate any media which will fuel this expression. Using spray paints, gouache, India inks, oils, acrylics and so on, he works on paper, canvas, or whatever support may suit. Most of the characters or topics he draws are important to his life and embedded in his personal philosophy. His work has been described as raw, unfiltered, unedited, truthful, comedic, irresistible, bold, playful and charming, much like the man himself. He has found a way to tap into the intensity of focus and insight afforded him through Autism Spectrum Disorder to unleash a formidable creative power and vision." - Elizabeth Peterson, Director of Akus Gallery at Eastern Connecticut State University.
