"(My goal is) To remember, especially in this difficult economy, that art can be restorative. Art gives our eyes and and mind a chance to rest, to muse, to think."
- Mary Boone Art Dealer; NYC 2008
"Art is never necessary. It is merely indispensable." - Michael Kimmelman New York Times
"Paintings like poetry or music, are essential nutrients that help people sustain healthy lives. They're not recreational pleasures or sidelines. They are tools that help us grasp the diversity of the world and its history, and explore the emotional capacities with which we navigate the world. They illuminate, they humble, they nurture, they inspire. They teach us to use our eyes and to know ourselves by knowing others. "
-Roberta Smith New York Times December 31, 2010

Two Doors Down
The exhibit features mixed-media paintings and drawings by Jennifer Basile and Bianca Pratorius
February 1 - 26, 2012
Opening Reception:
February 3, 6pm - 8pm
The Artists will be in attendance.
Jennifer Basile is a professor of art at Miami Dade College. A this exhibit, she will display eight works from her "Stranger Series." These works combine traditional drawing techniques with pen, acrylic ink washes, and spray paint with stencils. "The drawings direct the viewer to recognize people who are present and more dominant in importance and people who were physically present but in reality were absent," says Basile. "The acrylic washes are there to evoke the sense of a stained memory of moments. They're meant to show the viewer how important human relationships are and how fleeting they can be."
Bianca Pratorius was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1969. She completed a three-year program at the Holzfachschule Koeln focusing on furniture building and design. She subsequently moved to Miami and now lives and works in the Miami area. Her work is featured internationally in many private and corporate collections, including the Millenium Partners Collection permanently displayed in the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami. "The unifying thread through my work has been pattern and repetition, which I explore through simple yet labor-intensive processes," she says. "The patterns reprensent the perfect analogy for the chaos that surrounds us and the complexities within us."
