Miami artist Xavier Cortada's next exhibit, Welcome Medusa, consists of paintings
based on characters from Greek Mythology (i.e.: Icarus, Atlas, Dionysus). The series was inspired by a recent
trip to Europe, where Cortada witnessed the classic and the contemporary accommodate one
another.
Xavier Cortada's Welcome Medusa exhibit
runs at Wirtz Gallery through January 29, 1999 and is presented by NIKETOWN Miami. Cortada
was commissioned by NIKETOWN to create two 24-foot tall glass-mosaic murals for the
exterior walls of their new building at the Shops at Sunset Place in South Miami. The
NIKETOWN murals will be unveiled on January 6th. For more information, please contact
Anneli Shearer, Nike's Public Relations Manager, at 212-367-4400.
The exhibit opens at the Wirtz Gallery
(the Art Gallery of the First National Bank of South Miami) at 5750 Sunset Drive on
Friday, January 8th, 1999, from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information about the
exhibit contact the artist at 305-858-1323.
A virtual exhibit will also be available
on this website on opening night. |
