For centuries, Florida has captured the imagination as a land imbued with mystique, diversity, and contradictions. Flourishing Dichotomies reveals the eclectic truths and perceptions of Florida’s varied reputations through a range of themes, from tropical paradise to urban jungle. Through painting and photography, this exhibition pairs work by five contemporary artists with select works from one of the world’s largest collections of Florida Art, the Vickers Collection, on loan from the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida. Spanning works from the 1920s to the present, Flourishing Dichotomies examines aspects of the state’s unique history, many of which continue to shape the lived experiences of today’s Floridians, and places them in an ever-evolving context.
Artists include: Mathias J. Alten, Frank Beatty, Virginia Berresford, Jenny Carey, Johnny “Hook” Daniels, Edward Clarence Dean, Miguel Fleitas, George Snow Hill, Louis Jambor, Bruce Marsh, Selina Román, Alex Torres, T.W. Wilson and Florence Baran Wise.
