Gustavo Oviedo. From Nov 7th through Dec 7th, 2008. Bright colors and visual patterns collide at 21st century speeds in Gustavo Oviedo's latest exhibition titled Ultraviolet Palm Trees, which opens on November 7th at the Butter Gallery in Coconut Grove
Fascinated by the repetitive nature of numerical patterns and inspired by the possibilities of technology, Oviedo adopts a philosophy of delivering visual impact by any means available to him. Space age vinyl cut outs, laser branded card boards and air conditioning ducts share the exhibition space with organic materials alike in a homage to Miami. The magic city that has shaped his artistic career since its early start.
"The easier the better. I am not concerned about the difficulty of a particular process but with the end result instead. Speed is very important to me. The mediums used in my work are representative of the technology available to contemporary artists like myself. My choice of colors is simply a reflection of my surroundings".
In recent years the known Miami muralist and curator has developed a following of young collectors that identify with his work. For this anticipated show, his first solo in five years, Oviedo has transformed the exhibition space of the Butter Gallery with an installation of his latest works and a small retrospective from years past.
