DAVID CASTILLO | 3930 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 201
David Castillo presents "In Search of Solitude", Vaughn Spann’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. In his powerfully evocative, painterly vocabulary, Spann synthesizes abstracted textures and forms into symbols, histories, and subjectivities that push against the boundaries of painting as a carrier of meaning. "In Search of Solitude" expands upon the artist’s approach and positions painting as a site of personal and collective contemplation. The richly textured surfaces of the artist’s works bear the gravity of his own introspections about the contemporary moment. And in an instance of respite, seclusion, and reflection, Spann invites his audience to confront the work with their own forms of meaning. "In Search of Solitude" proposes a moment of observance, alone or in unity, to reflect upon timeless yet highly personal histories and experiences that resonate loudly in our moment.
CORAL CONTEMPORARY | 3806 NE 1st Ave
Coral Contemporary Gallery presents “The Awakening Garden: A Journey of Sea, Land and Beyond”, the first solo exhibition in the US of Magdalena Trucco. The show features a series of paintings and three-dimensional works that immerse the viewer into the experience of an enchanted sea-forest.
