The bits and pieces of refuse the artist applies to make his work creates a pointillist effect. I dig pointillism and color and this piece of found object artwork.

Boafo may be the hottest name in contemporary art. One look at his paintings and you’ll see why. 

Fascinating, swirling surfaces where the “hand” - and fingers - of the artist are visible everywhere, drawing you in, mesmerizing, looking as intently at you as you are it.

Boafo worked as the Rubell’s artist-in-residence in 2019 and a handiful of his instantly iconic pictures are on view there now. A rare treat. With his market soaring and collectors gobbling them up, his work may be priced out of museums before they can acquire.

I’ll be writing about this more in depth for Forbes this week. Scroll to end for harrowing story of incident that inspired this work.

Sadly, the themes addressed long ago continue resonating today.

Museum of Graffiti is a block from Wynwood Walls and packs a wallop for a small space. Make sure it’s on your @miamiandbeaches itinerary.

Highlight is Salvador Dali’s large-scale bronze “Saint George and the Dragon” sculpture, number 7 of 7, once residing in the Vatican, $1.3M.

Featured in hotel lobby are paintings by @grabster and @tiagomagro.
What have I missed most about visiting art museums What have I missed most about visiting art museums? Discovery. Discovering new artists like I did in @miamiandbeaches with Misheck Masamvu.

I was blown away by her painting at @elespacio23 (last picture behind floor installation) and then I saw her work again at @pamm. Same sensation. 

The dynamic color and aggressive paint handling brought me in, the painting’s turmoil and depth kept me around. Brilliant artist I will not forget.

Who’s seen this lady at @metmuseum? 

Sargent painted my favorite portrait, ‘Madame X,’ the painting highlighted by the the most dramatic permanent install in any American art museum I’ve seen, ‘El Jaleo’ at @gardnermuseum, and for a long time my favorite paintng at my local art museum, ‘In the Alps’ at @cummermuseum.
