LUMAS - Grand Opening Miami - Tuesday, December 2 - New magazine out now!‏

GRAND OPENING AT LUMAS MIAMI

We cordially invite you to the Grand Opening celebration of our new gallery space in Miami's Design District!

GRAND OPENING: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 6pm

LUMAS Miami
4040 NE 2nd Avenue (corner of 41st St.) – Design District
coincidental with the Vernissage of Design Miami in the same building

On this occasion, we present Virtual Landscapes, a solo show of works by digital artist Gerhard Mantz. Mantz’s interpretations of landscape subjects do not necessarily aim to represent a geographical locale but rather to conjure a metaphor for a psychological state. The lush scenes are sculpted to evoke feelings and moods; the viewer enters the visual environment with immediate emotional responses.

At first glance the images appear realistic, in some cases even photographic, with inviting naturalistic details that lure and seduce. But, upon closer inspection, the seemingly realistic details shift to reveal a strange virtual realm more closely associated with an interior “reality” than with the exterior world.

Gerhard Mantz – Virtual Landscapes
EXHIBITION DATES: December 2, 2008 - January 22, 2009

We very much look forward to your visit!
