Unknowing (Between Day and Night) by Carol Prusa
November 3, 2021 – January 2, 2022
- What: Unknowing (Between Day and Night) by Carol Prusa
Carol Prusa creates symbolically charged work responding to liminal locations, using graphite pours and silverpoint drawing in a dance between the known and unknown to create erotically charged portals to new possibilities. Unknowing (Between Day and Night) articulates emergent forms, offering insight into the mystery of our existence while embracing the magnitude of the universe with the lawlessness of imagination to distill the sacred.
Represented by galleries on both coasts as well as Taipei, Vancouver and Geneva, Prusa exhibits widely in museums and curated exhibitions. Her work has been supported by fellowships including the Howard Foundation and South Florida Cultural Consortium. Museum collections include the Perez Museum of Art, Spencer Museum of Art, Museum of Art Ft. Lauderdale, Hunter Museum of American Art, Telfair Art Museum and Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, among others.

Tarik Currimbhoy: Reflections
January 5 – February 27, 2022 – Gallery Exhibition
January 5 – June 30, 2022 – Garden Exhibition
- What: Tarik Currimbhoy: Reflections
Classically trained in the arts, industrial design, and architecture, Tarik Currimbhoy is a trifecta of artistic prowess. Having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture from the Pratt Institute, as well as a Master of Arts from Cornell University, Currimbhoy later went on to teach at both institutions. In both architecture and sculpture, Tarik searches for tranquility, simplicity and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Currimbhoy’s sculptures are “stories of structure and gravity”, held together under compression in stone and metal. He has mastered the juxtaposition of the old and the new, using handcrafting and ancient casting techniques to create sculptures that are modern and minimal in form. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces as well as corporate and private collections.

Bradley Theodore Artist in Residence
January 5 – June 30, 2022
- What: Bradley Theodore Artist in Residence
Born in Turks & Caicos and based between Miami Beach and New York City, Bradley Theodore is a multi-disciplinary artist whose iconoclastic approach to art can be found internationally, from 10-foot murals on the streets of New York, Tokyo, and Milan, to sold out solo exhibitions in London. Theodore studied at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City and began his artistic career adorning the streets with vibrant, chromatic murals of skeleton crews depicting contemporary pop culture and fashion “royalty.” With deliberate strokes of high-intensity pastel color, he strips figures from George Washington all the way to Karl Lagerfield down to clothed skeletons. He has become a staple in the art and fashion scene across the globe. Celebrity collectors include Alyssa Milano, Iris Apfel, Bryan Cranston and Salma Hayek. Theodore’s professional collaborations with Moët & Chandon, Rolls-Royce, Google, PUMA, Haig Club and Moleskine underscore his willingness to allow contemporary culture and commerce to coexist within his larger practice.

The Animal Paintings of Helmut Koller
March 2 – April 3, 2022
- What: The Animal Paintings of Helmut Koller
Palm Beach resident Helmut Koller is mainly known for his colorful, bold and festive paintings of animals. Koller grew up in the Austrian countryside and after completing his training as a photographer, he became the official photographer for the Vienna State Opera. For seven years he photographed superstars like Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Leonard Bernstein and Rudolf Nurejev. Within that period Koller co-wrote, photographed and designed his first book -“Women Over 30.” Two more books followed – “Elektra” and “Opera Live.” Koller then moved to Manhattan followed by Palm Beach, where he now resides.
In 1987, with his first collection of paintings, “Homage to Egon Schiele”, Koller made the transition from photography to painting. The artist then turned his interest to historic portraits of the Native Americans. Figurative paintings in acrylic on canvas followed. Since the beginning of 1997 Koller is working on a series of colorful animal paintings. In summer 1998, Suppan Galerie in Vienna, Austria, showed these new paintings for the very first time at an exhibition. Galleria di Sorrento at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas premiered these super realistic “new pop” paintings in the United States in the summer 1999.
