Saturday, February 8th at 6pm experience the Opening Reception of Hermes Berrio ‘The Extravagance of the Quotidian‘ Solo Show at Fabien Castanier Gallery, the artist will be present. The exhibition, The Extravagance of the Quotidian, is on view February 8 – 29, and will be held in both of Fabien Castanier’s gallery locations. The show will commence with a reception in Wynwood on Saturday, February 8th, and will have a subsequent opening in Little River on Sunday, February 16th with the Progressive Art Brunch event. This is the first solo exhibition for Hermes Berrio at the gallery, featuring a new series of large-scale paintings.

For The Extravagance of the Quotidian, Hermes Berrio captures the significance from his everyday life, relating it with a grand scope that emphasizes both the mundane and the extraordinary. With reality as the foundation to his practice, Berrio creates a vibrant narrative and a personal reflection on the world. Finding inspiration in these unusual and yet commonplace experiences, the artist explores the complexity of such simple moments and renders them on a monumental scale. He has re-imagined, re-arranged, and metamorphosed visions of a cultural and personal landscape, seeking new ways to interpret one’s truth visually.
