The Wall Art Gallery is not the exception and I enjoy their art collection. While pricing is kind of prohibitive, it costs nothing to enjoy the fine art they have. Looking forward to my next time at this place to see if they have refreshed their collection. All in all, I appreciate the work of those artists and the Wall Art Gallery for offering a place to exhibit those.

There is an art walk in Aventura mall. These pieces are called Moonrise, and are totems!…read more Moonrise East is a work by Swiss-born, critically-acclaimed Ugo Rondinone. His art has graced galleries, exhibits, and spaces around the world, including in the Nevada desert where seven towering totems stand in bold and colorful display. Marking the artist's first venture into free-standing figurative sculptures, Moonrise East is the fourth and final installation in a 12-piece series. Each sculpture represents a month of the year and the collection overall is emblematic of nightfall, moonrise, and the sky-elements closely associated with time. The eight-foot-tall, mask-like busts with grinning misshapen faces are set atop plinths of weathered wood. Modeled in clay, cast in aluminum and finally lacquered, it is no accident that their rippled surface bears the permanent imprint of Rondinone's fingers. In this manner, the artist reflects on the relationship between the human condition and the natural world, specifically on mankind's attempts to grasp and even manipulate the passage of time. Rondinone, who lives and works in New York, is a master in a wide array of media, including drawing, painting, photography, video, architecture, and even sound.

In Miami, finding a solid cultural activity is rare, so when I heard about the Michelangelo Art…read moreExperience at CitizenM South Beach, I was all in. As an art lover, this was un vero sogno. Set on the ground floor of the hotel, this temporary exhibit reimagines the traditional museum visit. Instead of static frames, it transports you into full-sized, high-def reproductions of Michelangelo's most iconic works. It opens with a short but powerful video about his early life, the perfect setup to get you in the right headspace. The journey begins with Bacchus, god of wine and pleasure, radiating that Renaissance joy and dolce vita....! Then the mood shifts to La Pietà, frozen in grief and beauty. You're left speechless when you realize Michelangelo sculpted it at just 23. Che talento! Next comes The Last Judgment, displayed through illuminated panels that pull you into its divine drama, equal parts awe and fear. Then the tone lightens: enter the pop-art section with neon Moses and a playful remix of Michelangelo through modern lenses. One highlight? The dream cloud room, a soft-lit fantasy space that any Instagrammer would call paradise. It's made for floating poses and artsy angles. Then there's the wall of Davids, the iconic sculpture reinterpreted through pop culture, where you can pick your favorite based on your inner superhero or cartoon crush. Wander further and you're greeted by the two whimsical cherubic angels borrowed from Raphael's Sistine Madonna, casually lounging with that dreamy, daydreaming gaze. They guide you, playfully and poetically, toward the next visual crescendo: the Sistine Chapel ceiling projection. This is where the magic deepens. The iconic fresco is projected overhead, and thanks to Cristina, one of the amazing guides, you get all the behind-the-scenes details: the critic banished to hell in paint, Michelangelo inserting his own flayed skin into The Last Judgment as a quiet protest, and his habit of sculpting women with masculine features due to his preference for male models. The insight adds depth to the beauty. And yes, that moment: God and Adam's almost-touch. Here, it's not only projected but also rendered as a giant sculptural interpretation, perfect for striking that "Insta"pose. Finally, you're back on Miami ground with the grand finale: a full-size replica of David. Regal, defiant, perfectly lit for one last snap. Around him, playful pop variations echo the spirit of the exhibit, classic art, reimagined for today. Cristina and team, grazie mille for curating this bold visual journey through the mind of one of history's greatest creators. Whether you're here for the Renaissance, the storytelling, or just the next viral photo, questa mostra è da non perdere specially for the price compared to other similar exhbits in the area

We just visited several of his works in Rome and Florence a couple of months ago so it was amazing to be able to get more information on him and see his replication pieces up close and personal.

We grabbed morning tickets then walked over to Lincoln Road Mall for lunch. Hope they stick around for a while.

This is the Miami outpost of the French gallery Bertin Toublanc…read more I was recently here to see the latest work from local artists Stian Roenning and Alexis Mincolla aka Team Turbo Sex. Their exhibit Together for Never was cool and fit in well with the overall contemporary, things that make you go hmmm, art work of the gallery. This gallery is smart and has a sharp sense of humor and style. There are two floors and it is mostly a loft like feel/layout. I always end up checking out the smaller rooms though, since I always think the best pieces are always just off the beaten path, kind of like a Hide n Go Seek Fab Art game. I love an opening night party as much if not more than the next gallery hoppin' girl. Who doesn't love the pomp and circumstance of the cool art scene crowd and their entourages, especially after a few of the comp cocktails? However, I'd prefer to check this place out sans the crowds on a nice, quiet day as many of these pieces are best enjoyed with time to take in the details. The exhibitions change monthly and this gallery is open for Second Saturdays.

At first, I was puzzled as to why there were broken glass on the floor. Was there a burglary? Is it…read morethe next downtown space being renovated? Is a new business coming in? Then I found out after looking MUCH closer that this was an art gallery. Yes, the giveaway was the small picture frames that lined the walls in the back. And I was glad. An art gallery is an awesome addition to a day strolling around downtown. I did some eating, shopping, getting books from the library, seeing some street shows, and... looked at art - all while walking around a few blocks in downtown proper! I didn't think this was possible, but small places like these do make it very popular. And Christopher Miro gets a big kudos for being downtown's first art gallery!* *This is excluding those facilities that have hosted art exhibitions while functioning as something else - an office lobby, restaurant, etc. And of course, I'm overlooking the Miami Art Museum in this case, whose current building is tiny and could also be considered a gallery until they finish the construction of their new building. There's also a small room in the back that showcased more art - and I liked this section more as they consisted of creative and hand-made lamps with a gadzillion of bright-colored plastic parts. I'll definitely come back and check this place especially since they're changing exhibits every month.

It's Artium, not atrium. And is is on a corner, literally. Just look for the chimpanzee mural…read more Owned by a Chilean couple, Artium is a fun gallery that features pieces from Cuban and Chilean artists. In a neighborhood that doubles as an open-air, public art gallery itself (Wynwood), Artium is a practical stop because you can take this art home. And their best-selling artist, Ernesto Javier Fernández, is a worthy investment. He is a photographer that still lives on the islands of Cuba. He often goes through Spain to get to the U.S. so that he can go to Home Depot. Why would an artist from Cuba want to go to Home Depot? Because he likes to play with light in his photographs and you can't get the supplies for that type of work in Cuba.
