The Tropics
January 12 - February 12, 2023
The tropical zone includes the geographical regions of earth closest to the equator. This area provides life to the richest variety of plant and animal species on the planet. The concentration of plant life, supported by the biodiversity around it, provides oxygen and ecological balance to the globe. The exhibition brings together a selection of artworks by three Colombian artists: Jorge Cavelier, Gonzalo Fuenmayor, and Federico Uribe. Each explore the impact this tropical ecosystem has had on their work. For each artist, the preservation of this landscape and the cultures that inhabit it are vitally important.
The group show will be held in our Palm Beach, Florida location – just north of the Tropic of Cancer (northern latitudinal line of the tropics). Through their work, we can see how the unmistakable tropical flora, fauna, and landscape translate in each artist’s creative practice, and derive deeper meaning and understanding of the cultures in this region.
