Where the Air and the Land Meet Forever

Opening September 11, 2010

7-11 -pm


If we are in the final throes of the golden age of Miami's Art Awakening then Juan Rozas may well be the Don Quixote of the swamp. His work is both ingenious and melancholy. In his impractical pursuit of ideals manifested by rash, lofty, romantic and chivalrous actions, Rozas offers us an idealism without regard for practicality. His lucid brand of expression does not take consequence or absurdity into account. South Florida is a place where the sky and the land meet forever, a place where a young bohemian from Buenos Aires, having met innkeepers, prostitutes, goatherds, soldiers, priests, escaped convicts, and scorned lovers, reveals Miami as both magical and mundane.
