SRI PRABHA ''LAMBENT UTOPIAN PORTALS (GLASS HALF FULL)''
at SOUTH FLORIDA ART SALONS Sri Prabha is a multidisciplinary artist who integrates tenets of geography, nature, time, human origins, ecology and the cosmos into his aesthetic process. He will discuss his recent works and an upcoming multi-media exhibition at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Both his recent public art project for the City of Miami Beach’s No Vacancy and his public artwork for Miami-Dade County’s Art in Public Places program addressed these topics specifically through the concepts of species and human migration in South Florida.
During this exciting talk, the artist will guide viewers through works that focus on experimentation. Prabha’s insightful analysis and visual style catalyze audiences into consideration of ethical and ecological responsibilities, plus how they can further take action in their own worlds. Kelli Bodle, associate curator at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, will join him to offer behind-the-scenes insights on how a large-scale multi-media exhibition is conceived and installed. Sri Prabha’s works manifest across a range of mediums that include installations, video, light art, sculptural paintings, sound, and NFTs. Sri’s awards include the 2016 South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship, as well as permanent public art projects for the Governmental Center in Fort Lauderdale and Miami-Dade Art in Public Spaces. Sri has lived in numerous places, including India, Germany, Denmark, Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston, and now lives in Hollywood, Florida. |

artDISCOURSE Talk With End To End Gallery Featured Artist Al Razza
Join us at End to End Gallery for an opportunity to meet and hear from Al Razza as he gives an inside depth into his works.
Razza's works are mixed media explorations of an abstract alternative visual nature. The compositions suggest weather conditions, rain, ocean and cloud forms; but are not literal imitations of such. They employ a variety of painterly mediums, such as oil, acrylic and enamel paints. Textures are made with heavy modeling paste, which sometime create craquelure effects, while applied acrylic paint skin make surface patterns. They are gestural, expressive and ethereal in composition, movement and design. The colors are vivid and glide through changes of harmony from monotone to analogous blends of primary colors. |
