Art Palm Beach is a lesser known fair but it is quickly becoming on the art market's radar. Located on the coast of Florida it features over 1,000 works of art. My first selection is that of Indian American artist Parvaze's art. The contrast in his Botanical I Vibrant is that of almost primary colours. It's a vibrant work and beautiful in its rendering. Suspended in space it sits outside of its natural habitat. Meanwhile Canadian artist, Martin Brouilette gives us a thoughtful abstract work to contemplate. The colours here have a pleasing palette and playful bursts of colour and doodles are a part of the composition. It is a layered work full of nuance and we wonder at the artist's intentions. On the other hand, Damien Hirst's Civilisation Exploding is an extraordinary rendering of a garden in full bloom. It is robust in in its colour scheme and almost chaotic in its busyness. Ayobola Kekere Ekun's Oya Confessional II, is a mixed media work that uses paper to achieve its success. The artist uses cutouts of paper giving her subjects large eyes to entice the viewer. She studies black identity and the way women are perceived in her culture. Enjoy these and other works as well.
