Art Boca Raton: Five Galleries Not to Miss →

Art Boca Raton is currently in the midst of its third year of bringing emerging, postwar and contemporary art to Boca Raton, from its pop-up confines at FAU’s Research Park. The five-day shindig (the first public day is Thursday) welcomes nearly 40 galleries from Europe and the Americas to our favorite city. To help you navigate such a generous surplus of art, we thought we’d spotlight five not to miss.

Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts- A stellar contemporary-art gallery in upstate New York, Brunelli houses Austria’s Martin C. Herbst, whose tricks of the eye include cosmic portraits, painted on spheres, that distort when viewed from different angles; and faces painted on mirrored, folded aluminum panels. Brunelli is also home to South Florida’s Ray Gross, who creates hand-painted, hyper-realistic sculptures of everyday art objects.

IT DOESN’T HURT TO ASK: MIAMI 2017 SATELLITE FAIRS →

Taking advantage of the huge crowds of art collectors in Miami and Miami Beach for Art Basel Miami 2017, the artwork at satellite fairs — often blatantly political — this year was new, older, relevant, colorful, glitzy and humorous. Work at Art Miami and Context, over the bridge into downtown Miami, was gutsy, with artists using new technology and materials; artists were having fun but asking important questions and expressing opinions in unambiguous language. These were the standout artists and works and the fair in which they were shown:

SCOPE ART FAIR
Scope informed, declared and showed action taken. Brazilian artist Dora Longo Bahia, in her series depicting “human made disasters” entitled “Nuclear Accidents” (2017, Gallery Vermelho, San Paulo), painted abandoned theme parks in the nuclear disaster sites Chernobyl and Fukushima on burning orange grounds. Shock and Awe! Tim Okamura’s photograph, “I am V.ITA” (2017, oil on graphite, Meijler Art) declaring, “I am my ancestor’s wildest dreams,” brought awareness of immigrants. Martin C. Herbst’s “Perpetual_Mirror,” (2017, oil and lacquer on stainless steel, Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts) with spheres on the floor and half mirrored, reflected our image if we lowered ourselves to floor level.

How Art Sparked the Vibrant Scene on State Street →

As a kid, John Brunelli would walk the streets of his hometown and peer into the dirty windows of old factories, imagining the place at its peak. How many people worked there? What did they make? Why did it fade away?

It was this sense of wonder and curiosity about the stories behind Binghamton’s better days that inspired he and his brother Anthony to convert an old warehouse into one of the region’s premier art spaces.

“There’s a certain architectural integrity to Binghamton that my brother and I saw and always admired,” Brunelli says.

It allowed them to see potential in the 1800s structure that is now home to Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts, where John Brunelli is gallery director.
