Surfergirl brings 17 new women artists to Miami Art Basel.
As Miami Art Basel 2023 approaches, an exceptional exhibition is set to captivate attendees not within the confines of a gallery or fair, but in two distinct public spaces: the JP Morgan Chase building's lobby at 1450 Brickell Avenue and a local flowershop in Little Havana.
Presented by the Consulate of Spain in Miami and meticulously curated by Surfergirl Gallery, the exhibition unites ten exceptionally talented women artists from Spain under the unified theme of "Marina." Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing beauty and enigmatic chaos of the ocean, these artists offer an unparalleled collection that transcends traditional boundaries. Through their artwork, they evoke a profound narrative—viewing nature not as a garden but through a resolute feminine lens fixed upon the sea's essence.
"Marina," connotating "of the sea" in Spanish and doubling as a woman's name, encapsulates the essence of a safe harbor. The exhibition invites introspection on our treatment of both ourselves and the natural world. The dynamic relationship we share with the ocean mirrors our internal dynamics.
Exploring themes ranging from the profound to the mundane—addressing climate change and consumerism—the collection weaves a tapestry of diverse mediums. From oil on canvas, mixed media, and textile fine art to photography, acrylics, sculpture, poetry, and even cutting-edge expressions like NFTs and a virtual 3D gallery, these works beckon viewers to contemplate and immerse themselves in introspection. Can this metaphorical mermaid guide us back to our origins?
This groundbreaking exhibition introduces original and unique works by Paloma García-Cabanes, Angela Gómez Durán, Paloma Góngora, Constanza Laguna, Gloria Loizaga, Marcia Lorente Howell, Veronica Mar, Irene Marzo, María Ortega, and Jimena Roselly, making their debut in Miami's artistic landscape.
