Carolina Sardi’s works are delicate forms made from steel. Each work is ‘designed’, transferred to metal and then colored with enamel.

Jorge Luis Santos is a young Cuban abstract painter. His mainly large abstract canvases are easily recognized by his unique use of color, preferably in dark and wide brushstrokes.

Tomas Espina's work is characterized by the use of gunpowder. He ‘draws’ with gunpowder in canvas and later ignites it. Also on display a video showing the artist during the process of making a piece.

Bernice Steinbaum Gallery / Luis Cruz Azaceta

A new exhibition of artworks by Luis Cruz Azaceta opened a few days ago at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery in Miami. The exhibition will continue until March 1st.

The work in this exhibition "Museum Plans" is a body of work that Azaceta has been doing for about two years – exploring new territories and looking towards the museum as subject. A museum where space and strategies come together to formulate a plan for the viewer’s perception and consciousness; a cultural container that toys, elicits, and moves one’s thoughts and placement.

For this exhibition at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, he has included work that deals with the plans of the gallery space.

NY Times - Article about Art in Miami

"Since Art Basel Miami Beach touched down on this city’s palm and condo strewn shores six years ago, a contemporary art wave has swept across Miami like a tropical storm. Art is everywhere, from the walls of boutique hotels where works by young art stars have replaced the stark minimalism of the 1990s." This is one of the statements in Julia Chaplin's article about the Miami art scene, published: February 3, 2008, in the Travel section of the New York Times.

The article is very good and talks about the growth and importance of art in Miami. Art Basel Miami Beach is briefly discussed as well as its affect on Miami. It covers what’s going on in the Wynwood Art District, mentions several of the big private collections, art galleries and museums. I'm not going to recap the article but wanted to bring it to your attention.

In Miami, the Beach Party Moves Indoors
by Julia Chaplin, New York Times, February 3rd

I highly recommend that you read the article.
