A Piece of Berlin in Miami
Pastels and the Berlin Wall : By Marta Culver
In the Summer of 2008 I made a very short visit to Berlin, less than 24 hours: the town and its history impressed me very much and especially matters concerning the legendary Berlin Wall. The remnants of the wall have been a magnet for me. The first piece I saw of it was at Potsdamer Platz, today a very modern place in the middle of Berlin, yesterday a nowhere land where the Wall dividing East and West was standing. I immediately had the idea of making paintings based on the graphics and the designs of the Berlin Wall. In 2009 I returned to Berlin for several more days and I was able to see the East Side Gallery: this is the longest part of the Wall still standing, and it is full of graffitti and drawings. And I also saw two other pieces of the Wall at the front of the Berlin Wall Museum. This inspired me to do the pastels; the reason why...I do not know but I felt the desire to do it. The glory and tragedy of Berlin has a lot to do with it. These paintings are part of the exhibition "Blended "Come and join us on September 4th from 7pm to 10 pm at Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery, 3162 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove, MIami.

Chacon Gallery Enhances Commodore Plaza @ Coconut Grove

Chacon Gallery enhances Commodore Plaza
On Gallery Walk night, the Cristina Chacon Gallery on Commodore Plaza is always one of the most popular places. It has a very continental feel to it. Many out of town, meaning out of the Grove people, attend the exhibits.
While the locals tend to hang around the Mayfair events, many out-of-towners from near and far prefer the Commdore Plaza side of town, they love Chacon and Nomade, Dharma has many locals due to their regular life as a yoga studio, so many of their yoga students attend the Dharma art events.
Back to the Chacon Gallery, here are from left: Ohran Noh, Christy Huang, Pat Lili and Judy Wen. The ladies are standing in front of a couple of Christy's pieces, which are being exhibited throughout the month.
Gisela Llorens, in black, shows off her work, surrounded by friends, from left: Fortuna Algaze, Oilda Rubio and Georgina Ruiz.
Oscar Soicher and wife Sylvia Evelina, proudly stand in front of one of Sylvia's pieces on display this month.
If you have not attended the First Saturday Gallery Walks in Coconut Grove, you really should. The art is back in town in a big way and it's first class, quality work. The next Gallery Walk is Saturday, September 4. Hope to see you around town then, and actually before then. The galleries are all open daily, you can stop in during regular hours.
