South Florida’s largest fine arts gallery, Manolis Projects, has partnered with Hyde Midtown Miami for an intimate contemporary art exhibit featuring works by renowned pop artists and street-art pioneers from around the world.
A gold-leafed shark, 1960s pin-up girl and Elvis-inspired mug shot are among the many eye-catching works now on view in the hotel lobby lounge of Hyde Midtown, where Manolis Projects will host a series of artist meet-and-greets, champagne art tours and other arts-focused programs in partnership with the hotel and residence building starting January 2023.
Open daily to the public, this new exhibit features bold collage paintings by New York City artist Jojo Anavim, sculpture by Brazilian artist Hamilton Aguiar, mixed media paintings by Steven Manolis — founder and gallery owner of Manolis Projects — and a pop art-inspired piece by Mr. Brainwash, the mysterious contemporary artist made famous by Banksy’s award-winning documentary, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.”
