Shawn Barber’s work will be exhibited alongside a number of other names you’ll recognize in the We’ll Make A Lover Of You Exhibition curated by Francesco LoCastro and presented at Art Basel Miami Beach 2006. The exhibition explores the avant-garde urban contemporary and pop surrealism characteristic of the Lowbrow movement. Forty internationally renowned artists will show their paintings, installations and sculptures at the ACSF Gallery from November 25, 2006 to January 21, 2007.

R. Grimes and Francesco LoCastro are collaborating to create a large-scale mural as the backdrop for the show. A deviation from the white walls traditionally seen in galleries, this colored canvas will connect the hanging pieces, the installations and the physical space. ArtCenter Gallery will be transformed into a venue to be admired as a whole in addition to the individual works within.

• Exhibiting artists include Van Arno, Anthony Ausgang, Gary Baseman, Shawn Barber, Tim Biskup, Andrew Brandou, Ray Caesar, Colin Christian, Sas Christian, Richard Coleman, Dave Cooper, Curve, Dalek, Mike Davis, Cardiac Design, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, Doze Green, R. Grimes of FACTION, Alex Gross, Thomas Han, Jim Houser, Yumiko Kayukawa, David “LEBO” Lebatard, Kris Lewis, Travis Louie, Mars 1, Chris Mars, Scott Musgrove, Niagara, Anne Faith Nicholls, Kevin Peterson, Chris Ryniak, Todd Schorr, Nathan Spoor, Jeff Soto, Miss Van, Jonathan Weiner, Robert Williams and Francesco LoCastro.

“Lowbrow is beginning to enter the realm of the highbrow art world and is quickly becoming the voice of our society – a unique phenomenon which has not been documented within the constructs of past movements” says LoCastro, We’ll Make A Lover Of You curator and artist. “The goal of this show is to add a new facet to Art Basel and to introduce South Florida, as well as the international art community, to a fresh era in art.”

Red Nose Studio is currently showing a number of sculptures in the Figuratively Speaking show which opened at the ArtWorks Gallery in Cincinnati, OH earlier this month. The exhibition is comprised entirely of doll-sized figurative work with a broad range of styles and conceptual approaches. The works acknowledge stereotypes while pushing past them to delve into abstract concepts of stereotypical form and meaning.

Figuratively Speaking will overlap a few other choice events at ArtWorks. Until the end of the year, ArtWorks is displaying the SECRET ArtWorks Postcards. Starting December 9th, the ArtWorks Gallery will hold its annual holiday sale, Stocking Stuff, as well as a reception for Figuratively Speaking. This one-day-only-sale and reception will be from noon until 5:00 pm.

In addition to Red Nose Studio’s work, the exhibition includes work by: Emily Caito, Jen Edwards, Michael Everett, Nina Gaby, Cody Goodin, Rhonda Gushee, Jenny Harada, Pam Kravetz, Ruth Marks, Elizabeth Marten, Gloria McConnaghy, Greg Penner, Amy Rich, Micha Robertson, Mark Shafer, Katie Swartz, Jenny Ustick, Cathy Wise, and ArtWorks Summer Apprentices.

The show runs through December 22, 2006 with a special reception Saturday, December 9th from 12 - 5 pm.
