Pharmaceutical Geometry and Miami Lights: Beverly Fishman’s Artful Prescription

Pills aren’t just for medicine cabinets—they’re also the unlikely muses behind Beverly Fishman’s vibrant, geometric art. Drawing from decades of fascination with science and society, Fishman transforms the familiar forms of mass-produced medication into sculptural reliefs that pulse with color and meaning. Her creative process is anything but quick: she starts with hand-drawn sketches, digitizes and collages them, then crafts the final pieces from wood using CNC routers, finishing each with a signature palette of pastels and brights. Fishman’s work doesn’t just decorate walls; it quietly critiques the omnipresence of pharmaceuticals in modern life, inviting viewers to reflect on what we consume and why. From Philadelphia roots to Miami’s Art Basel spotlight, her art reminds us that even the most ordinary shapes can carry extraordinary stories. #ContemporaryArt #BeverlyFishman #ArtBaselMiami #Culture

Miami Beach’s Art Fair Turns Up the Unexpected, from Bronze Blossoms to Quiet Powerhouses

Art Basel Miami Beach isn’t just a parade of big names and bigger price tags—it’s a crossroads where global art scenes collide and surprise. This year, 286 galleries from 38 countries converged, with a record number of newcomers and a vibrant presence from South and Central America, especially Brazil. Among the standouts, Mexico City’s Proyectos Monclova played with perception, featuring Gabriel de la Mora’s optical illusions crafted from Christmas ornament shards, while Hilda Palafox’s stoic, sculptural women paid homage to Latin American muralism. Madrid’s Albarrán Bourdais turned Roman emperors into wildflower planters, blending history with botany and a dash of irreverence. Meanwhile, Afriart and Rele’s joint booth wove sustainability and identity into tactile tapestries and sculptural forms, spotlighting African innovation. Not to be missed: Weinstein Gallery’s revival of Surrealist Jacqueline Lamba, and Piero Atchugarry’s meditative interiors by centenarian Linda Kohen, each offering a quiet counterpoint to the fair’s usual spectacle. In Miami Beach, art’s power lies in its ability to disrupt, delight, and draw unexpected connections across continents and centuries. #ArtBaselMiami #ContemporaryArt #GlobalArtScene #Culture

Miami Beach’s Art Basel Turns Up the Heat with Surreal Sphinxes and Digital Dreams

Art Basel in Miami Beach 2023 transformed a gray Florida morning into a vibrant spectacle, drawing crowds eager to experience a global art phenomenon. The fair’s energy pulsed through the Miami Beach Convention Center, with 277 exhibitors showcasing everything from immersive installations to record-breaking paintings. Among the highlights: C L E A R I N G’s booth captivated with Shota Nakamura’s bold landscapes and Blair Whiteford’s hypnotic watercolor gestures, while Bradley Ertaskiran stunned with Azza El Siddique’s tomb-like installation, blending ancient Egyptian motifs with modern anxieties. Instituto de Visión spotlighted three women artists whose works unraveled the cultural scripts written onto bodies and rituals, using textiles and embroidery as both medium and message. Big-ticket sales—like a $20 million Philip Guston—underscored the fair’s status as a marketplace, but the true magic lay in the dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation. In Miami, art doesn’t just hang on walls—it spills into the air, reshaping what a fair can be. #ArtBaselMiami #ContemporaryArt #ArtFairs #Culture
