Miami Art Week 2015: Miami Project and Art on Paper Recap

As part of our on-going Miami Art Week coverage, we also went to check out the best of the Miami Project and Art on Paper fairs. Though previously the home of NADA, this year, the Deauville Beach Resort on South Beach played host to the neighboring sister fairs. Miami Project is now in its fourth year and known for exhibiting lesser known galleries than the monstrous Basel, while Art on Paper focused on primarily paper works, though this was not a rule strictly followed by the work on display. Take a look at more of our highlights from Miami Project and Art on Paper after the jump!

As part of our on-going Miami Art Week coverage, we also went to check out the best of the Miami Project and Art on Paper fairs. Though previously the home of NADA, this year, the Deauville Beach Resort on South Beach played host to the neighboring sister fairs. Miami Project is now in its fourth year and known for exhibiting lesser known galleries than the monstrous Basel, while Art on Paper focused on primarily paper works, though this was not a rule strictly followed by the work on display.


Christian Rex Van Minnen

At Miami Project, one of our favorite booths was certainly Adelson Galleries, where Columbia born artist Federico Uribe had several sculptures and two-dimensional illustrations on display, composed entirely of bullet shells and other unconventional materials. Handicraft is essential to his sculptures of animals like rabbit, deer and a giant lion’s head, constructed and woven in ways that are curious, unpredictable and intricate. Down the aisle, San Francisco gallery Hashimoto Contemporary also featured several intricate works by artists Gregory Euclide and Crystal Wagner, as well as delicate tiled illustrations by Handiedan and Joel Daniel Phillip’s provoking larger than life portraits. Electric Works’ booth was papered with a display of well known author-turned-artist Dave Egger’s drawings of animals and their personalities, covered on our blog recently.


Eric Standley

In the adjacent Art on Paper, we were first greeted with a selection of new works by FAILE, featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 18, at Allouche Gallery’s booth. Many pieces by the two man art collective displayed a refreshing use of lighter graphics and white negative space, a slight departure from their eye catching collage-like imagery. In the next room, Allouche Gallery hosted a second exhibition of new works by FAILE’s collaborator, Brooklyn artist BAST. Across the way at Victori + Mo’s booth, we enjoyed Eric Standley’s intricately laser-cut sheets of paper that almost look like Art Deco architectural structures. At Denver gallery Robischon’s booth, we found a selection of new Christian Rex Van Minnen portraits, featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 25, and were introduced to the perfectly-blended blurry subjects of artist Halim Al-Karim. Take a look at more of our highlights from the Miami Project and Art on Paper fairs below.

New Works on Paper by FAILE from the Art on Paper Fair in Miami

Brooklyn based artist duo FAILE create work that is constructed from found visual imagery. Featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 18, their murals, installations and fine art blur the lines between high and low culture, but recent exhibitions demonstrate an critical eye on consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media and architecture. At last week's Art on Paper Fair in Miami, covered here, FAILE debuted a new body of work at the Allouche Gallery booth, in which the duo draws on their roots of experimenting with printmaking.

Mu Pan, Nicola Verlato, and More Channel Their Sense of Adventure in “Blaze of Glory”

International artists channel their sense of adventure into new works for Gallery Poulsen's show, "Blaze of Glory." Opening tonight, the exhibition presents adventurous paintings in both concept and style. Their collective vision is not the Wild West that you've seen in movies. Each explores their respective cultures, or the very idea of exploration, whether inspired by the American Fronteir to Eastern historical battles. Check out our preview after the jump.

Studio Visit: Christian Rex van Minnen Breaks Down His Layered Oil Painting Process

Christian Rex van Minnen's paintings (featured in HF Vol. 25) are painstakingly laborious. The artist uses the techniques of the Northern Renaissance masters to paint tripped-out portraits and still lifes where his subjects devolve into bulbous, tumor-like lumps of flesh and organic matter. While Van Minnen's work is commonly interpreted as being about deformity, when we visited the artist's studio in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, he discussed the conceptual underpinnings of his creative process. Take a look at our photos from Van Minnen's studio after the jump.

Christian Rex van Minnen Puts Up Enormous Billboard in New York

While he typically works small scale, painter Christian Rex van Minnen (featured in HF Vol. 25) says he was delighted at the opportunity to go big when arts organization Artha Project and Prince Media approached him to create an enormous billboard of his work. On view at the corner of 6th Ave. and Grand St. in Tribeca through Saturday, the billboard features an enormous print of one of his paintings for his January exhibition at Robischon Gallery in Denver. The billboard has been puzzling New Yorkers and van Minnen noted on Facebook that Prince Media has been receiving inquiries from confused passersby who can't figure out whether the work is an advertisement.
