Esterio Segura

Sanger Gallery 

One of Cuba’s leading figures since bursting onto the scene as a young sculptor in the early 1990s, Esterio Segura is an artist and community organizer of volcanic talent and seismic impact, known for his sharp critiques of Cuban politics and society. Among many international commissions is his installation at Tampa International Airport of a flotilla of cherry red airplanes, with hearts for fuselages, symbolizing the Cuban diaspora that began with the Peter Pan children airlifted to the US in the early 1960s.

ISLAND MUSINGS

Jill Caldwell

XOJ Gallery 

Caldwell’s mostly abstract, mixed media paintings capture the exuberance of an island bursting with color: the endless shades of green foliage, the magnificent variety of flowers, the amazing aqua-teal-turquoise water, the billowing clouds highlighted peach-pink with the last rays of sun, followed by the blue-purple-indigo of nightfall. They are made of layers of water-based paint, graphite, markers and scraps of paper, which add texture and evoke the feeling of experiences and relationships that are built over time.

A LOVE OF IMAGES

Jeane LaRance

Zabar Lobby Gallery
On View Feb 20-27, 2021 

Photographer and media artist Jeane LaRance was a beloved member of the Key West community until her passing last November. Her generous and adventurous spirit lives forever in her photos. The Studios is pleased to present this breadth of images in her memory–of her beloved Haiti, her adopted hometown of Key West and of Indigenous populations in the American West–captured and rendered with LaRance’s devoted attention.

Maxine Makover & Michael Philip

Zabar Project Gallery 

Necklace designer Maxine Makover and photographer Michael Philip explore and amplify the many stories jewelry tells.

Jewelry is a universally integrated form of artwork, reflecting individual details of a person’s personality, while hinting at broader cultural implications. Makover taps into this potential with her creative wearable art, while Philip’s classical contemporary photography captures the life themes portrayed by the wearer.
