Ben Brown Fine Arts is thrilled to announce Homecoming, a major solo exhibition by Miami native José Parlá at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), opening November 14, 2024. Featuring a new series of never-before-seen works and a site-specific mural by the multidisciplinary artist, the exhibition celebrates the spirit of resilience and returning to one’s roots. Homecoming is a testament to the profound connection between personal history, art, and creative expression.

Through a selection of around sixty pieces (paintings, ceramics, embroideries, works on paper), this exhibition offers a fresh look at the prolific output of Miquel Barceló, a Spanish artist who made the sea a central theme of his work.

Visitors are invited to embark on an epic voyage from the beginnings of life (fossil compositions, exoplanets, ocean floors or Earth’s crust textures blending into aerial views of the sea’s surface, exploration of abysses, shapes and creatures of ocean trenches), to the presence of humans espied behind his seascapes, bestiaries, and numerous bodegón-style still lives (diving, sailing, cooking, and so on), via powerful compositions of waves and ceramics inspired by Antiquity. A whole swathe of the oeuvre of one of the greatest contemporary painters, and an echo to the history of oceanography, so dear to the Principality of Monaco.

Ben Brown Fine Arts is thrilled to announce Awol Erizku: Mystic Parallax at The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas. This exhibition showcases the work of multidisciplinary artist Awol Erizku, featuring photographs, paintings, sculptures, installations, and soundscape interventions that explore blackness and contemporary global culture.

Highlights include a six-foot mirrored bust of Nefertiti, casting a galaxy of shimmering light from the ceiling; an impressive 75-foot collage wall displaying a mix of iconic works, deep cuts, and never-before-seen photos from Erizku’s career; and a new installation titled Celestial Bloom, featuring a real Cessna 150 airplane suspended in the air, overflowing with vibrant flowers streaming from the cockpit and trailing off the tail.

Awol Erizku: Mystic Parallax will be on view from May 25 to October 13, 2024, at The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas.
