Mindy Solomon Gallery presents Dominique Labauvie’s Material Catch and Michael Conrads’ Celebrating Opposites

Saturday, January 21st from 6-9pm Mindy Solomon Gallery presents Dominique Labauvie’s ‘Material Catch’ and ‘Celebrating Opposites: The Work of Michael Conrads’, enjoy an opening reception with the artists; new exhibitions on view January 21st–March 4th, 2017. 

Dominique Labauvie’s newest body of work is a series of sculptures and drawings focused upon ruin as subject, a theme often addressed in art history, and weighing heavily in Labauvie’s thinking as ever-present in our society by way of environmental damage, cultural destruction, government, and concern for the future. In Labauvie’s view, material culture – the remains of what once was – is material evidence which aids in understanding the past.

Mindy Solomon is proud to introduce, for his first Miami solo exhibition, the work of Michael Conrads. Currently an artist in residence at the Fountainhead in Miami, Conrads hails from Germany. Conrads believes good painting is a manifestation of the artist’s emotional and intellectual sensibilities realized on canvas. Ultimately, achieving a visual epiphany and the fulfillment of an aesthetic journey is the final goal.
