Leonardo Benzant

I imagine myself as an Urban Shaman exploring both my familiar visible world and the hidden dimensions of other realms that lurk beneath the surface of daily life. The sense of personal cosmology in my practice grows from both experiencing and observing the details of everyday life and ritual. Artworks emerge out of the crossroads of life, history, memory, and imagination, a place between that suggest multiple layers of meaning.

UNTITLED, ART Miami Beach 2019

Tapping Into Moyo, our curated, site-specific exhibition created for UNTITLED, ART Miami Beach 2019 brought together the dynamic energies of two diverse voices speaking to the power of Moyo (soul) as driving life force.  Leonardo Benzant and Adebunmi Gbadebo explored the intertwining of community and personal histories that inform an individual’s lengthy journey to tap into Moyo.

Lauren Fensterstock

Lauren Fensterstock creates elaborate sculptures and installations in the material of ladies’ accomplishments. These historically devalued female crafts- such as paper quilling and shellwork- are often dismissed as mere decorations of domestic life.  By freeing these traditions from the culture of the parlor, She is able to explore their capacity to speak on the complexities of the world beyond the domestic sphere. 

Adebunmi Gbadebo

My material is human hair from people of the African Diaspora. Our hair is so connected to our culture, politics, and history!  It is history and DNA. The process of working with hair has allowed me to utilize my community as an integral part of my studio practice.

Labels and text fragments, alongside champagne bottles, cars, watches, pistols, and bling make up the glistening flotsam and jetsam of media content, woven into the larger optical impression and allowing the viewer to contemplate their unique role to play in this challenge of globalized life.
