Budding Grove Galleries Continue to Blossom during Winter Months
Grove Gallery Walk Continues Saturday, February 5, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
To see a map of participating galleries, visit www.coconutgrove.com.

While most cities across the U.S. are buried under snowfall, Coconut Grove is keeping true to its winter-getaway appeal. With art galleries sprouting in the area, this month’s Grove Gallery Walk include exhibitions dedicated to “springtime” interpretations.

Works by featured artist Mitchell Schulman will accent the walls of GroveHouse Artists, as the gallery celebrates its sixth anniversary. Serving mimosas and Martinelli’s all night, GroveHouse Artists welcomes art enthusiasts to “The Heart Of…” – a collection of new member pieces as well as Schulman’s vividly colorful take on water gardens and lily “hearts.”

“Bloom” will exhibit the perfect combination of painting, sculpture and visual arts, with works by Ray Azcuy, Mano, Monica Gonzalez Bo and Ruth Bloch at Cristina Chacon Gallery; while neighborhood newbie Grove Retrospective Gallery will present “Flowering of Inspiration” a collection of signed and numbered lithograph by Salvador Dali, along with 75 other original Dali prints.

“Keeping it Real – Eco Abstractions” will debut at the Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery. This new collection of works by esteemed South Florida photographer Scherley Busch will demonstrate her knack for “painting” with light. Lush tropical tones play against geometric angles and sinuous curves, as Busch uses Florida’s searing sunlight and sensual geography as a color palette. Her unique vision will be accompanied by hi-tech meditation videos.

Recognized for his natural affection for bright colors, artist and owner George Rodez will exhibit pieces from his numerous and burgeoning collections at his RODEZart.com gallery. This solo exhibit titled “PERSONALITIES II: A continuing exploration of the relationship between emotional states and art,” affords the viewer an insightful examination into the vast world of the Miami favorite’s personalities.

Other galleries featured in the Walk include ArtWay 66, Blue Moon Studio of Art, Dharma Studio, Frameworks Studio, Max in the Grove and Nomade Art Gallery.

The Grove Gallery Walk begins at 7 p.m. and continues through 10 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be made available at participating galleries, while live music can be found at some locations.

Art inspired events such as these are provided by partnering galleries and the Coconut Grove BID. The Coconut Grove BID exists to improve the quality and financial success of the Grove’s commercial core. It enhances Grove parking, lighting, sanitation, marketing, and safety, as well as supporting special events.

“Keeping it Real – Eco Abstractions” Tells a Factual Tale through Abstract Photography
Exhibition Showcases Newest work by highly regarded and Grove Photographer Scherley Busch

Beginning Saturday, February 5, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery will present its latest exhibition, “Keeping it Real – Eco Abstractions” – a one woman show by internationally recognized South Florida fine arts photographer Scherley Busch.

Busch departs from her noted figurative imagery and breaks out of the confines of what is considered traditional fine art nature and landscape photography to engage in real world issues. “Keeping it Real – Eco Abstractions” bridges the gap between art and life by raising awareness and appreciation for our natural resources in all its “abstractions.”

Exhibiting intimate and fresh color photographic compositions, Busch uses her camera to “paint with light” as lush tropical tones play against geometric angles and sinuous curves. She also uses Florida’s searing sunlight and sensual geography as her color palette. Her unique vision will be accompanied by hi-tech meditation videos that embrace nature’s subtle rhythms and allow viewers the ability to transcend nature’s beauty.

“It’s all right in front of us,” said Busch. “It’s just finding the time to appreciate the all encompassing spirit of that which surrounds us. Art has the ability to help us become aware and to reconnect to the mystery and beauty of nature.”

Busch launched her photographic career while working in New York City. A former painter and sculptor, Busch’s professional experience has included advertising and fashion photography in Miami. She is recognized as one of the first female commercial photographers in the South, and today is recognized as one of the foremost portraitists in the state.

Busch’s work can be found in museums and galleries, as well as highly recognized collections, both private and public. She is recognized for her historical portrait documentary Florida Women of Achievement and infrared Miami Dreamscapes series – which can be found at Miami International Airport and other prominent national key sites. Her professional photography encompasses advertising and editorial clients in major corporations and publications.

“Keeping it Real – Eco Abstractions” makes its first appearance during the Coconut Grove Gallery Walk on Saturday, February 5 with a reception from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. The exhibition runs through March 21. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery is located in the Shoppes at Mayfair (3390 Mary Street, Suite 128).

Busch will conduct a “Meet the Artist at the Gallery” during the Coconut Grove Arts Festival®, President’s Day Weekend, February 19 – 21, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The Arts Festival is produced by the non-profit Coconut Grove Arts and Historical Association. Proceeds help fund year-round arts programs benefitting a scholarship fund that will create opportunities for Miami-Dade County’s talented students to continue their art education. The association also maintains the Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery and presents special exhibitions throughout the year from its location at Mayfair.

Since its inception in 1963, the association has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to students who attend fine arts programs in local schools.

The Grove Gallery Walk takes places the first Saturday of every month. Other galleries featured in the Walk include ArtWay 66, Blue Moon Studio of Art, Cristina Chacon Studio/Gallery, Dharma Studio, Frameworks Studio, Grove House Artists, Grove Retrospective Gallery, Max in the Grove, Nomade Art Gallery and RODEZart.com Gallery.

Artist’s Statement – As an artist and photographer, my passion is to reveal the beauty around me, to illuminate the soul of my subjects and capture a unique vision. Everyone and everything has a special aura, I record images from the core. When I look though my lens, I connect with my subject, it’s Zen-like. I become totally immersed. I transcend to a special place where I sense what my subject is about. Sometimes it takes tremendous patience and I must wait for the right moment. Other times, magic happens instantly.

Nomade Gallery Flirts with the Eternally Feminine
Femmes: an Art Exhibit
South 27 Lofts Launch Party
Saturday November 6, 2010. 7 – 10p
Nomade Gallery, 3133 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
South 27 Lofts, 3001 SW 27 Ave, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
Wine & Hors D’oeuvres from George’s in the Grove

Nomade Gallery will be full to the brim with art by and about women during the month of November; women portrayed on canvases, photographs, women made of bronze, all created by the deft brushstrokes, portraits and chisels of artists who have put form to arguably the hardest of all beauties to capture. Nomade flirts with the eternally feminine and in the process opens discourse of gender identity, its social and political definitions, and reaches beyond them to present an exhibit that puts a face to what it means to be a woman. The artists explore classical beauties from pop-culture past and portraits drawn from the media age that define femininity today.

At the same time, “Femmes” aims to deconstruct the image of what it means to be a woman, unravelling the ironic standards and tight conventions by which women are portrayed. Each artist has developed their own images that postulate new forms of female representation, producing works which are at times tantalizing, at others subtle and compelling.

The “Femmes” exhibition features contemporary artists such as Miami’s German grinning photographer and artist Tomas Loewy, and photographers Katya Kova, Dominican born Aida Tejada, and Marcus Loerbroks; painters Yashmin Campagne from Trinidad, Carol Adrianza from Venezuela, and Magalie Dos Santos from France; and French sculptors Catherine Bon and Pierre Traversat.

Nomade Gallery has also lent a few of its artists to the South 27 Loft’s grand opening the same evening. South 27 Loft’s launch party will take place Saturday November 6, from 7-10 pm at 3001 SW 27 Ave, Coconut Grove. The photographs of Aida Tejada and sculptures of Pierre Traversat will adorn the lofts during this evening of art, hors d’oeuvres and architecture. The lofts will be available to preview and is open to the public.

Nomade Gallery is one of 10 galleries that participate in Coconut Grove’s Art Walk that takes place the first Saturday of each month. Nomade Gallery is Coconut Grove’s newest gallery on the block which was opened by esteemed French art enthusiast Brigitte Serfaty this past February. Miami’s original art’s community comes together during this weekend to enjoy art, music and entertainment.

ARTISTS: 1) Carol Adrianza, Yashmin Campagne, Magalie Dos Santo, Katya Kova, Marcus Loerbroks, Tomas Loewy, Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat
2) Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat and guest sculptor Zammy Migdal

We celebrate opening night on Saturday, November 6 from 7 to 10 pm at the RODEZart.com Gallery in CocoWalk, as part of Coconut Grove’s Gallery Walk.
CocoWalk • 3015 Grand Ave., Suite 237, Coconut Grove, FL 33133 • Tel: 786.467-7111
November 6 – 30, 2010

Portal fragments in a dimension where time is captured, distorted, venerated, violated and abused by the introduction of chemicals, concepts and theories in poetic movements to the tempo of a thought.

We journey into an ever-changing atmosphere where the eye and the hand integrate with the rhythm of the soul of the artist, orchestrating altered states for the gentle mind to move and ponder.

Please join us to welcome 4 artists: Carlos M. Cardenes, Roberto Catasus, George Rodez and Jose “Tonito” Rodriguez, who dare to cross the boundaries of photography as we know it, weaving and transforming it into spaces unknown or dimensions we perceive in, and opening the door wide open for our imagination to wander.

The exhibition will run through November 30, 2010. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 am to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 11 am to 10 pm.

Galeria RODEZart.com Presenta:
ESTADOS ALTERADOS
del 6 al 30 de noviembre de 2010

Los fragmentos del pórtico en una dimensión donde el tiempo es captado, es distorsionado, es venerado, es violado y abusado por la introducción de sustancias químicas, conceptos y teorías en movimientos poéticos al ritmo de un pensamiento.

Viajamos a través de una atmósfera cambiante en la que los ojos y las manos se suman al ritmo del alma artística creando estados alterados que hacen meditar y reflexionar a la mente del visitante.

Le damos la bienvenida a 4 artistas: Carlos M. Cardenes, Roberto Catasus, George Rodez y José “Tonito” Rodriguez, que osan cruzar las fronteras de fotografía como conocemos, tejiendo y transformándolo en espacios desconocidos o en dimensiones que percibimos, y abriendo las puertas de par en par para que nuestra imaginación vaguee.

La muestra abre al público el sábado, 6 de noviembre de 7 a 10 pm en la Galeria RODEZart.com en CocoWalk, como parte de Noche de Galería en Coconut Grove. La muestra estará a la vista hasta el 30 de noviembre de 2010. Las horas de la galería son de lunes a jueves, de 11 am a 7 pm, y de viernes a sábado, de 11 am a 10 pm.

Saturday September 4, 2010 – Monday October 4, 2010

To spotlight a new era of green attitudes, Nomade Gallery is putting modern-day tree-huggers center stage for September’s Art Walk. One of the most distinct recent social changes in the United States has been the incredible refocus of popular culture on environment conservation and outcry.

In light of the turbulent turn the environment took in the past months, Nomade is pleased to announce it is dedicating September to the exploration of nature’s many elements. Nomade is paying homage to the natural environment we live in through artwork depicting the raw and abstract allure and aggression of animals, plants and peoples.

Nomade will also have a suggested $10 donation box in place, in addition to beverages provided. All donations will go to Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund, the official foundation administering the oil spill clean-up.

The artists interpreting the culture of the natural world are Miami natives Danny Catania and Samuel Gualitieri, New World alumni Reinier Gamboa and Juan Travieso, as well as Norwegian photographer Stian Roenning, Dominican photographer Aida Tejada and French sculptor Pierre Traversat.

The monthly Coconut Grove Art Walk will take place Saturday September 4 2010, from 7-10pm. Nomade Gallery is enveloped by a unique environment and urban grid which naturally extends the art space into the community. Nomade was opened this past February by esteemed French art enthusiast Brigitte Serfaty. The first Saturday evening of every month, Coconut Grove’s galleries and shoppes put on a parade of local art, music and food open to the public.

ARTISTS: Danny Catania, Reinier Gamboa, Samuel Gualtieri, Stian Roenning, Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat, Juan Travieso

“Get Your Head Out of the Clouds: a visual voyage through the artist’s mind and creative process.”

Join us on Saturday, July 3, 2010, during Coconut Grove Gallery Night from 7 to 10 pm.

RODEZart.com Gallery presents George Rodez’s impressionistic/expressionistic works of art from his Elements & Values series and Mari Sanchez’s torsos and image sculptures chiseled from such stones as Alabaster and Soapstone.

For Rodez, this series breaks all boundaries, traditions, and rules to produce what is purely an expression of freedom for the artist. Rodez states, “In this body of work I have no influence or respect for light, shadow, dimension, perspective or proportion, but rather I allow myself to be led by the images seen in the abstractions no matter how they turn out. While some of these can be quite beautiful, some on the other hand can turn out to be quite monstrous. The art takes on a life of its own.”

In a manner similar to how images can be found in clouds, Rodez without any preconceived notions of what color, texture, or its end result, mixes his acrylic paints with free abandonment to first create what appears to be an abstract work of art. Then by exploring the abstract from all sides and angles and visualizing through his imagination and ability amongst the chaos of color, he finds images that only he as the artist can find and creates a work of art that is then recognizable to the viewer.

On gallery night Rodez will demonstrate how he paints this series, transforming an abstract work of art to a figurative one.

For Sanchez, this work represents a life-time passion. Her sculptures are inspired by nature, people, and the things we surround ourselves with. Sanchez states, “I carve stone and bring forth an aesthetically and emotionally pleasing figurative object from what appeared to be a chunk of rock. It is this process of exploration and discovery, the revelation of form and substance through the continuous removal of materials, that is so satisfying. However, in the process I interact deeply with each of my sculptures and in the end they are the ones that tell me what they want to become.”

The exhibit will be on view from July 3 – 31, 2010. Gallery hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11am to 7pm, and Friday & Saturday, 11am to 10pm. For more information, please call 786-543-7237 or 786-467-7111.

Nomade Gallery’s June Agenda
3133 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
Saturday June 5th , 2010 – Wednesday June 30th
2010 ARTISTS: Georges Bourgoignie, Catherine Bon, Charis Kirchheimer, Looi Long Lee, Tamara Sky, Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat

Nomade Gallery is pleased to announce its June agenda of exhibits and artists, beginning on Saturday June 5th during Coconut Grove’s monthly gallery walk. Nomade Gallery is dedicating the month of June to the exploration of photography through both amateur and professional lenses. This month Nomade Gallery has chosen local Miami photographer Charis Kirchheimer as June’s Feature Artist. On Saturday June 19th , Nomade will also host an evening for the children of Big Brothers Big Sisters-Miami featuring over 50 photographs taken by the “Littles” themselves.

Charis Kirchheimer will showcase three series: “Zoophilia”, a daring black and white photographic collaboration with Tamara Sky that captures an ethereal bunny-being sauntering through a ghostly dimension; “Transience”, an engrossing pair of long exposure self-portrait photographs, both of which had their first gallery debut during May’s SIREN exhibit with artist Danny Catania; and the premiere debut of “Dirty Laundry”, documenting a lucid dream adventure in a 24-hour laundromat on a late winter’s night.

Charis is a Miami based photographer who began her photography career in early 2007. Her work was exhibited in two Art Basel showcases in 2009; she has also been featured and shot for Ocean Drive Magazine, The Miami New Times, 944 Magazine, Architectural Digest, Italian blog Camera Obscura and Missbehave Magazine

On Saturday June 19th , the “littles” of the youth mentoring program Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami will show over 50 photographs displaying their escapades throughout Miami. Ten cameras were donated to the “Little” brothers and sisters for them to use and document unseen facets of the city we all call home. These photographs will be available for purchase as a direct contribution to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami.

Nomade Gallery looks forward to following up the success of May’s Art Walk, an art affair that prompted the Miami New Times to dub Nomade’s May 1st show the “…highlight of [Coconut Grove’s] art walk…”. Nomade Gallery is Coconut Grove’s newest gallery on the block which was opened by esteemed French art enthusiast Brigitte Serfaty this past February. The first Saturday evening of every month, Coconut Grove’s galleries and shoppes put on a parade of local art, music and food open to the public.

For more information on Nomade and the artists, please visit their websites: Nomade Gallery; Charis Kirchheimer; Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Art Exhibition and Open Cocktail Reception
Saturday, May 1st: 7-11p, FREE

Join Dharma Studio in conjunction with the Coconut Grove Art Stroll as we transform into an art gallery for the evening . We will be exhibiting the work of Michelle A. Staton and there will be beautiful live music performed by Serena. Michelle A. Staton is a multi media artist currently living and working in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Her large scale, expressionistic painting style plays with color in unique and interesting ways. Color seems to flow intuitively from her paint brush as she mixes and interprets her expansive color schemes.

After attending Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and receiving admission to both Harvard and Ringling School of Art and Design to study fine art, Michelle decided to pursue a career in business to explore the left side of her brain. Once she completed her bachelor’s degree in accounting at the University of South Florida in Tampa and spent five years as an accountant, she realized the creative arts are what she is meant to pursue and moved to Cape Canaveral to find her path.

Michelle is currently working on a series of large scale flowers set against provoking colors. Her style utilizes glazing and finger painting to develop and emphasize depth in the flower petals. She is exploring how the glazing and layers will affect light on a subject. She also founded Scarlet Art Studios, which will explore custom, UV reactive and couture clothing as well as offer other crafty interpretations of everyday items.

The Dharma Studio in Coconut Grove, FL will be hosting over sixteen pieces of Michelle’s work during the May 1st Art Stroll. She also has work permanently displayed in the Florida State Capitol Building as well as in numerous private collections
Be part of Coconut Grove’s thriving art community on the first Saturday night of every month — many art galleries in the Grove will open their doors, and offer live music, food and wine. For
