  Osman Can Yerebakan’s Dispatch | Miami Beach, Dec 6, 2019 Painting, Deconstructed Painting is widely celebrated across UNTITLED, ART this year, including artists who test the medium’s creation process with alternative touches to its physical nature and dimension. They raise its flatness into sculptural layers, deconstruct its wholeness, or put its traditional mediums into test.

  Osman Can Yerebakan’s Dispatch | Miami Beach, Dec 5, 2019 Painters Illustrate Pleasure Of Leisure In a high temperature city, such as Miami where sun is bright and pace is slower, idyllic moments are tempting, luring us to slow down and enjoy the pleasure of doing nothing, which comes at price and guilt of “un-productivity.” The choice one makes to immerse themselves into taking time off is a gift and evil, imposing the dilemma of taking part in work or laziness. Poolsides, couches, parks, and beds invite us to detach from productivity; however, laziness has its own aesthetics, too. Painters in this year’s UNTITLED approach the sweet pleasure of leisure with humorous, transforming moments of repose into juxtapositions of intimacy and self-care.

Accompanying the beachgoers enjoying the generous sun inside the UNTITLED tent this year are various depictions of the body, ranging from the idealized to the grotesque or even absent but captivating. While contemporary artists continue to interpret the body’s mysterious ways of conveying a range of issues, from political to personal or social to erotic, many booths display works that tackle such issues through various media and experimentation of form.
