Nick Veasey, represented by Oliver Cole Gallery, cleverly uses x-ray photography to undercut the ultra-luxury facade of these Louboutin’s revealing their construction. Cutting to the structural core of these glamorous high heels reveals the bed of nails underfoot as a literal illustration of the old adage: pain is beauty and beauty is pain. The delicate packaging of these brand new shoes adds an ironic nod to the cult-of-brand surrounding these prized status symbols, while also questioning our assumptions of the wearer through a feminist lens.

5 UP-AND-COMING ARTIST WITH NEW EXHIBITIONS THAT YOU CAN SEE THIS JULY

Dutch photographer Jenny Boot (represented by Oliver Cole Gallery in Miami) creates exquisitely lit portraits that draw from Old Master portraits and vanitas scenes. Boot first trained as a painter but switched to photography, feeling that the latter medium gave her more control. Her photographs are evidence of that sense of perfection, and hover on the divide between art and editorial photography, with beauty as her primary concern. The effect is both disconcerting and beguiling.

“Du pop art au street art en passant par l’art moderne et contemporain, la Oliver Cole Gallery se transfigure d’exposition en exposition. Le visiteur retrouve aussi bien des peintures et des sculptures que des installations ou des vidéos realisees par une cinquantaine d’artistes emergents et confirmes. Parmi eux, le plasticien américain Jeff Koons, connu par son Balloon Dog, une sculpture représentant un chien en ballon de baudruche, et le street artiste britannique Rich Simmons qui a peint Superman et Batman s’embrassant passionnément.”

“Award-winning glass artist Zac M. Knudson has been dazzling visitors at fairs around the world and shaking up the art scene for over 15 years. His latest project lands at Oliver Cole Gallery. The exhibition, “You Can’t Eat Money”, will feature an interactive experience centered around pieces from the artist’s poignant Bees Die We Die and Petty Cash series. 

This cogent and provocative exhibition is the biggest undertaking for the South Florida native to date and will include interactive, site specific installations, as well as art pieces never before seen by the public. In his work, Knudson captures the zeitgeist of modern culture; our collective obsession with excess, convenience at the expense of the environment, and preoccupation with money… Just to name a few. All of these themes are executed with the intention to poke fun at the undeniable mess we as humans have found ourselves in.”
