The Unconventional Support
Opening reception: Dec 2
Hours: 6-10 pm

Durban Segnini Gallery continues its commitment to the unique period of Colombian geometric abstraction with a valuable selection of works by seven different artists that have been fundamental in its development. Throughout the decades, the gallery has contributed to the recognition of the diverse and divergent paths of the abstract geometric art in Colombia, whose representatives maintained a thread of connection with reality. The allusions to the landscape, the referentiality to architectural spaces, and the connection with a sense of the sacred can be seen in an exhibition that includes valuable and unique pieces.

Erika King. Peace, Love, and Harmony 2020 Collages.

Endowed with a passion for exploring a variety of mediums and techniques, Erika King has selected collage as her medium of choice as it allows the transformation of photos, mementos and memorabilia to tell a story and speak its own language. An emotive colorist, she uses vibrant splashes of paint full of energy, as well as a subdued palette, to express reflection and introspection in her collages. In this series titled
“Peace Love and Harmony” Erika explores her involvement with Spirit as well as the outer world using fragments of sheet music, labels, stamps, and foreign currency interspersed with iconic images of the Mona Lisa, Statue of Liberty, Angels and other folklore. The Chinese characters vibrate with their meanings of peace, love, harmony, and joy. ErikaKing.com By appointment: (305)-323-7385

About

The Vasari Project is a library collection dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving Miami‑Dade County's art history from 1945 to the present. It is a living archive that grows through contributions from artists, art professionals, exhibition spaces, galleries, institutions, and private donors.

The Vasari Project is a resource for ongoing research, scholarship, publications, artists' projects, exhibitions, and events. The archive collects documentation rather than original works of art comprised primarily of printed matter: correspondence, press clippings, photographs, posters, books, exhibition catalogs, artists' files, oral histories, and other ephemeral materials.

Art critic, historian, and writer Helen L. Kohen and the Library’s former Art Services Manager Barbara N. Young conceived the Vasari Project in 2000. The collection is named for Giorgio Vasari (1511‑1574), the artist and historian whose book, Lives of the Artists, shaped the discipline of Western art history. Made possible by a partnership between the Library and the County's Department of Cultural Affairs, the archive's purpose is to preserve and build upon Miami's transformation into a major hemispheric art center.
