Dot Fiftyone Gallery Proudly Presents: "FUSION", an Exhibition of New Work by Leonel Matheu
Dot Fiftyone Gallery presents: “FUSION”, an exhibition of new work by Leonel Matheu. Cocktail opening reception Saturday February 13 from 7:30 PM to 11PM, in concordance with Second Saturdays Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk 51 NW 36 Street Miami, Fl 33127.
Miami, FL, February 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “FUSION” February 13th through March 8th, 2010 at Dot Fiftyone Gallery, 51 N.W. 36th Street, in the Wynwood Arts District.
Following the February 13th opening reception, gallery hours will be Monday-Friday, 12 P.M. to 7 P.M. On Saturdays private viewings will be available by appointment.
Matheu’s iconic images, reminiscent of child’s play, simplicity, and at times injured naiveté, make a re-appearance in “FUSION”, a collection of drawings by the artist. Matheu recently participated in art fairs such as Art Miami (December 2009, and MIA Art Fair (January 2010), where he presented his interactive installation called “Fusion”, the star of this upcoming exhibit. This interactive installation involves the spectator in the artwork by making him or her a crucial character or symbol in the piece itself. In fact, it is not until the spectator becomes involved that the piece is really complete. Viewers will have a chance to take a photograph with the installation, making the artistic experience engaging and lasting.
“Fusion is a show in which a series of individual pieces that have distinct characteristics stand together in a collaborative theme; a theme that is rich in a reflective and analytical spirit. Within this exhibit, the spectator will find “Fusion”, the piece that inspired the exhibit and gave it its name. “Fusion” is a piece that fuses time and space into reality-- a reality that results from the presence of humans and art in the physical sense of a world created by an originally artistic idea.” - Leonel Matheu
Matheu’s origins as a graphic designer are still at the surface of his every concept and attempt at expression. As such an artist, he keeps to his duty and uses the medium to encourage our constant alertness to the art around us. Matheu’s use of images translates into a graphic language that communicates everyday life and everyday emotions with the introduction of new symbols and the reappearance of past favorites.
