SAT. 5/1 - COCONUT GROVE ART WALK - NOMADE GALLERY - LIVE NUDE PHOTOSHOOT
(April 27, 2010) Coconut Grove, Fl.– Nomade Gallery is pleased to announce its May repertoire of exhibits and artists beginning Saturday May 1st, during Coconut Grove’s monthly gallery walk. This month Nomade Gallery debuts 4 artists that work across a range of mediums; photographer Wick Beavers kicks off the month as Art Walk’s keynote artist and entertainer;
The monthly Coconut Grove Art Walk will take place Saturday May 12010, from 7-10pm. Nomade Gallery is Coconut Grove’s newest gallery on the block, opened just this past February by esteemed French art enthusiast Brigitte Serfaty. The first Saturday evening of every month, Coconut Grove’s galleries and shoppes put on a parade of local art, music and food open to the public. On May 1, Nomade Gallery and Wick Beavers invite patrons to experience a live photo-shoot inspired by the early 20th century sculpture masterpiece "Le Penseur" by artist Auguste Rodin.
After twenty years of sporting many work hats, Wick Beavers greets us now as photographer. He is skilled at compositing dynamic and metaphysical pictures. His works have been published in NY Magazine, the Daily Beast and Newsweek. Wick will deploy live models to capture his vision of "Le Penseur". The life-size photographs will be printed on-site at Nomade, allowing the signed museum quality prints to be available for purchase immediately following the shoot.
Artists Danny Catania and Long Looi Lee are the latest additions to Nomade Gallery. Both artists will have art debuting May 1 during Art Walk. Long Looi Lee is a Malayasian transplant that began his Fine Arts education in Singapore and finished at the Pratt Institute in New York City. Lee’s vivid work fuses seamlessly with Miami’s burgeoning art cultivation. Lee’s mixed media art infuses his Asian heritage and adopted Western influences to delicately lay out moments of modern-day harmony.
Danny Catania is Nomade’s May “Feature Artist”. Danny is a native Floridian with a unique style easily recognized for its sensuality and modernity. His female figure studies have a permanent home in French restaurant Les Halles made famous by globetrotting chef Anthony Bourdain, and has been exhibited in local galleries and restaurants, as well as in private collections abroad.
