About Me
Bright colors and visual patterns collide at 21st century speeds in Gustavo Oviedo's latest exhibition tittled Ultraviolet Palm Trees, which opens on November 7 at the Butter Gallery in Coconut Grove.Fascinated by the repetitive nature of numerical patterns and inspired by the possibilities of technolgy, Oviedo adopts a philosophy of delivering visual impact by any means available to him. Space age vinyl cut outs, laser branded cardboards and air conditioning ducts share the exhibition space with organic materials alike in a homage to Miami. The magic city that has shaped his artistic career since its early start."The easier the better. I am not concerned about the dificulty of a particular process but with the end result instead. Speed is very important to me. The mediums used in my work are representative of the technology available to contemporary artists like myself. My choice of colors is simply a reflection of my surroundings".In recent years the known miami muralist and curator has developed a following of young collectors that identify with his work and affordable prices. For this anticipated show, his first solo in five years, Oviedo has transformed the exhibition space of the Butter Gallery with an installation of his latest works and a small retrospective from years past.Ultraviolet Palm Trees by Gustavo Oviedo
