ART PARK ARTISTS

The SHOWFIELDS Art Park provides opportunities for artists to create new works, site-specific to our stores. We encourage artists to use this as an opportunity to explore new ideas and evolve their creative practice.

The Art Park is an initiative that strives to bring artists together in an unconventional way while becoming an active participant in the SHOWFIELDS community.

Each SHOWFIELDS location hosts a variety of multidisciplinary artists throughout the year, below is what is on display now!

We hope that the Art Park will become a vibrant hub for artistic expression and experimentation, and we are excited to see what kind of submissions we receive from our talented community of artists.

PRIDE CAMPAIGN ARTISTS

Olivia Davis is a Brooklyn based artist who’s body of work experiments with the balance of traditional painting mediums and modern digital instruments. Her art strongly reflects the experience of entering adulthood in the midst of a world wide shutdown, honoring community with the power of individual expression and celebration. The use of vibrant colors and curved lines in her work are playful and inviting, with the ultimate intention of creating a safe space for all.

Olivia is most known for her annual Queer Book series which first debuted in 2020. She was originally inspired to create this series to find closure in the midst of the Covid-19 shutdown, as she ended her scholastic career. Her goal in this ongoing project is to embrace the Queer Community and to create a safe learning environment that allows people to feel seen and see themselves in others.

EARTH MONTH CAMPAIGN ARTISTS

Lenore Solmo is a mixed media artist from Brooklyn, New York. Her upcycled sculptures and homewares build on the inherent creative potential of everything around us - even trash - to bring beauty and inspiration into everyday life. Her decades-long experience as an accessories designer in the fashion industry imbues a fashion sensibility to her sculptural works, which she iterates in collections of cohesive design principles incorporating trend and seasonal thematics. In her most recent series, the Verta Collection, Solmo highlights the architectural qualities of found bottle caps from the streets of New York City, painting and stacking the rescued objects into reimagined future city skylines.

Kiki Aranita is a chef and fiber artist. These intersecting, simultaneous careers have allowed her to confront the nuances of her identity and cultures through cooking and rendering food into fiber sculpture, as seen with her installation “The Inconvenience Store.” As a chef, she works with a consciousness of low to no waste and she cooks most often with fresh fish. As a fiber artist, she brings this awareness of sustainability and taking care of our waterways into her practice.

90-95% of Aranita’s work is made from scrap yarn collected from her neighbors because she is as conscious of the environment as a fiber artist as she is in her culinary career. These works depict packaging, zeroing in and rendering more permanent the beauty that is discarded as soon as the package’s contents are consumed. These are the contents of the tuck shop of her dreams – sculptures of snack packages she encountered in her childhood and travels.

These works exemplify Gustavo Oviedo’s artistic concepts with large-scale paintings of organic forms straight from the depths of the ocean’s cosmic consciousness. Hours of navigating South Florida’s waterways breathe a sense of calm among the colorful shapes that populate this series. Painted forms interact with ease. Lines are texture. A fluorescent pop explosion against a contrasting sea of tranquility released onto canvas. The calm and steadfastness of an explorer, both at sea and in the studio, distilled with a painter’s brush in exquisite colors, offers a cathartic release from city life for us all. These paintings vivid and alive invite us into Gustavo’s worldly visions and they remind us of how much wonder there is in the world if we choose to explore it.
