This weekend from January 17th to 19th, 2014 at Miami Spaces Miami-based artist Victor Gomez will be exhibiting three of his pieces at Collectors Fair, the Art Fair for Collectors by Collectors in Wynwood.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Gomez, 71, is an award-winning printmaker and painter who has received more than a dozen international awards including the 1998 Tama Art University Museum Award during the Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennial along with other recognitions from Tosayamada Museum of Art in Kochi, and the Special Organizer's Award at the International Triennial Competition of Print in Osaka.
Gomez's passion for his work is strongly evidenced in his dedication to continually produce his exquisite monotype pieces in a prolific manner even during this past New Year's eve.
"I wanted to receive the new year working despite the many invitations to celebrate it among friends, and such idea became real as to emphasize the significance of the moment producing my own work," said Gomez to WUM.
Gomez says that his pieces are always a work-in-progress constantly evolving as it progresses along the way and adding small changes when necessary.
"I believe more in work than in inspiration, just as Hemingway used to say, 'If inspiration truly exists, let it show up while I'm working,'" added Gomez.
Gomez produces so much work that he says it's hard for him to put titles so he works better creating numbered editions instead of naming each piece.
On Friday's Opening Reception the pop-up space located at 23rd street and North Miami Avenue will be open from 6PM to 11PM; on Saturday and Sunday from 12-8PM and 12-5PM, respectively.
The Art Fair for Collectors by Collectors will feature affordable art for those starting their collection as well as established collectors wanting to sell or upgrade their own.
Some of the artists to be featured include Sharron Lang, Waldo Balart, Federico Brandt, Carlos Quintana, Luis Torres, Arturo Rodriguez, Santy Santos,Ana Carballosa, NKO, MRKA, Willy Arguelles, Chris Radtke, Humberto Castro, Jorge Luis Santos, Chenco, Daniel Garcia, Mijares, Cundo Bermudez, Max Leiva, among others.
Miami Spaces is located at 2301 North Miami Avenue, Wynwood, 33127.
