Amy Alonso Gallery is pleased to present:
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition
Miami based artist, Carla Fache, inspirited by the dramatic oil spill consequences, present the CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition, an artistic proposal that invites the viewers to re- think and connect the recent environmental events with our planet pulse.
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition explores the artist’s interpretation to the recent environmental events in the world, through the transformation of common recycled materials into something meaningful. Re- think and Re- use are the artist invitation to focus on the signs our earth is giving to shake our mind set, and reveal our bond with the universe.
The Florida oil spill effects, the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, the mystery of the recent earth craters around the world, together with the possibility of not being alone in the universe, are some of the pieces Fache will present in this exhibition.
“It is about re-thinking, re- acting and re- living: Con-science, with or without our science, but definitely with our inner faith”. Carla Fache.
Extra extra!
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition is helping to save our planet! A percentage of the paintings sold in this exhibition will be donated to an Environmental organization.
Carla has developed her own language in painting, throughout the combination of color, textures, angles, energy and soul. Her work addresses mind, heart and the invisible to the senses through a lens of continuous vibrations exchange. Fache has been pouring her soul prolifically on canvas ever since and invites the viewer to enjoy the experience, feel the energy and see the beauty.
“…My imagination travels to non-existing dimensions that I best describe through a process of layering. When I paint, I feel as if I am hypnotized by colors and textures, all of which will create soft, thin layers that hide or reveal a mark of an unspoken feeling, emotion, or thought…” -Carla Fache

Colors are bright when the scenes full of pathos require it, or they are watercolors when the artist prefers to give prominence to the figurative aspect; his strokes are darker when expressionist memories come back or slightly marked out when the landscape is more lyric.”

LOGO Projects presents Adriano Nicot
6/28/2010-10/29/2010, M-F: 10am-5pm
LOGO Projects @ Ocean Ophthalmology Group
LOGO Projects at Ocean Ophthalmology Group
1400 NE Miami Gardens Drive, Suite 203
North Miami Beach, FL 33179
http://oceanophthalmology.com/index.php?page=logo-art-projects
LOGO Projects in conjunction with Ocean Ophthalmology Group is pleased to host a survey of paintings and drawings by Miami-based artist Adriano Nicot. The collection will be on display and open to the public from June 28th through October 29th, 2010.
Featuring over 30 works on canvas and paper this exhibition highlights pieces in which the artist explores the mystical underpinnings of the daily. In Nicot’s hands chickens, chairs, and babies alike are all imbued with a heavy yet inexplicable symbolism. A couple matter-of-factly holds hands under a hovering fish and clowns (or are these ladies of high fashion?) hollowly meet the viewer’s gaze, daring us to laugh (or to not laugh?). Nicot’s austere marks are often strongly reminiscent of prehistoric cave paintings, his smoky compositions are always both timeless and reverent.
Born in 1964 in La Habana, Cuba, Adriano Nicot began his formal studies in art at an early age at the Biblioteca Nacional. He continued his education at the prestigious San Alejandro Academy of Art in Havana where he graduated in 1993 with a major in Painting and Engraving. Since then Nicot has garnered numerous intercollegiate and national awards, including a First Prize in Artwork at the 1994 competition Arte Siete, and his works are included in private collections in the US, Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and Asia. He currently lives and works in Miami, FL. Nicot’s work is catalogued online: http://www.picturetrail.com/nicot
LOGO Projects is a non-profit program dedicated to matching artists and curators with professional business spaces. The program was founded by Kharis Kennedy, a New York-based artist, and Dr. Kevin Stewart. Dr. Stewart, a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist from New York, relocated to Miami in 2008 to open Ocean Ophthalmology Group with Jesse Pelletier, MD, a cornea & refractive surgery specialist from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
