No soy de aquí, ni soy de allá: an evening of art, connection and conversation about where we’re from and where we’re going with Alex Nuñez. RSVP here.
Join us for our first gathering of the New Year at No soy de aquí, ni soy de allá, a solo exhibition by Cuban-American and Miami-based artist Alex Nuñez. Known for her sumptuous and decadent, defiantly glamorous and gritty works, Alex’s paintings use loud and colorful motifs to obscure deeper hidden meanings. She builds up her canvases on the floor, pouring iridescent acrylic paint, drizzling glitter, and meticulously placing crystals amidst flakes of gold leaf to create hazy glimmering layers. Monumental in scale, her subjects range from mutant mangroves and phosphorescent vegetation, to technicolor rainbows that hold hope and possibility for the future.
On Thursday, January 12 at 7 PM, Alex and curator Amanda Baker will begin the evening by walking us through the exhibition at Club Gallery on the ground floor of The Citadel. Then, we’ll head to the rooftop for complimentary cocktails designed by the artist with Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Many of you will recognize Alex’s work from our holiday postcard. Get to know her, get to know each other.
No soy de aquí, ni soy de allá is on view from January 14–February 11, 2023. The public opening reception will take place on January 14, 6–9 PM.
Alex Nuñez is a Cuban-American mixed media painter born and raised in Miami, FL. Nuñez is the host and producer of the “Sunday Painter” podcast on Jolt Radio, now in the show’s sixth year of production, and a recipient of The Warhol Foundation and Locust Projects Wavemaker Grant.
