SUMMARY:When only the void stood between us | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:When only the void stood between us\nExhibition by Keren Kroul\nJuly 3 – August 22\, 2026\nBack Room Gallery\nOpening event during First Friday Art Walk\, July 3\, 6 – 9pm. Free admission.\nIn large-scale watercolor on paper paintings and installations\, Keren Kroul’s work unfolds in a landscape of memory where time and place collapse into magnificent terrains. Monumental in size while vulnerable in materiality\, the work is a physical representation of the overwhelming helplessness she feels when confronted by a personal and historical legacy of loss and longing\, and the ongoing violence in this country and the world. Inherited memories\, neural networks\, maps\, flora\, and architecture are distilled into units of line and shape. Fragmented and abstracted\, they are repeated\, accumulated\, and layered into dense and detailed passages\, expanding over multiple paper panels. The imagery floats and sinks\, pulsates forward and away\, hovering over empty space. Painted with tiny brushes\, the process is intentionally labored and prolonged\, embedding time into the work. Working on paper\, Kroul thinks of documenting\, bearing witness. The delicate nature of watercolor comes in and out of focus\, recreated as it is remembered. While some images are opaque\, reflecting their solid presence in the mind\, others are a watery wash\, the dissolving of concrete places\, lives\, and eventually\, memories. The beauty of this work rests precariously on the surface. Beneath lies a process of reclaiming\, taking up space\, generating a site not only for her story\, but for all of our stories\, an affirmation that each life is singular and of infinite value\, deserving of human dignity and empathy. \nKeren Kroul examines identity through time\, memory\, and place\, in large-scale watercolor paintings and installations. Born in Haifa\, Israel\, to an Argentinean father and Israeli mother\, Kroul grew up in Mexico City\, Mexico and San José\, Costa Rica. She lives in South Florida\, where she teaches studio art and art history in high school and college. Kroul exhibits nationally and has received support from private and state foundations. Recent awards include a 2023 McKnight Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship (Minneapolis\, MN)\, and a 2025 Artist Residency at the Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago\, IL). Kroul’s work has been featured on television in MN Original (TPT-Twin Cities PBS)\, and in print publications including Paint Lab\, Color Lab\, Tangled Art\, New American Paintings\, and The Southern Review. Kroul holds a BA in Fine Arts from Brandeis University (Waltham\, MA) and an MFA in Painting from Parsons School of Design (New York\, NY).

SUMMARY:Of Nature and Spirit | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Of Nature and Spirit \nFeaturing the work of Tom De Vita\, Kathleen Kinkopf\, Amarelle Kukići\, Hal Yaskulka\nOn view August 7 – September 26\, 2026\nOpening celebration August 7th\, 6 – 9pm\nFirst Friday Art Walk September 4th\, 6 – 9pm\nOf Nature and Spirit brings together four Florida-based artists whose vivid figurative paintings and sculptures celebrate the surreal. While each artist boasts a unique visual narrative in their work\, there is a kinship among them in their depictions of nature\, symbols\, and unusual landscapes. Throughout the exhibition\, figures are seen intertwined both physically and spiritually with flora and fauna. \nTom De Vita’s paintings are recognized by bold tones and dark atmospheric compositions\, often situating elements from land\, sea\, and sky together. Hal Yaskulka’s paintings provide ethereal and ungrounded scenes of female figures among delicate creatures. A connection between animals and humans is seen clearly in Amarelle Kukići’s monochrome sculptures. Kathleen Kinkopf’s colorful paintings of intricate flowers and lush landscapes use layering to create multi-dimensional figurative scenes. \nThrough surreal imagery and hyper realistic details\, Of Nature and Spirit explores the whimsy and mystery of nature and our relationship to it\, whether in connection or in conflict. Each piece encourages extended observation as our imagination interprets the seemingly magical realms and stories within the work\, contemplating where we may fit in our own worlds. \nJoin us for a first look and meet the artists at the opening of the exhibition | Friday\, August 7th\, 6 – 9pm. \n \nTom De Vita \nTom De Vita was born in Queens\, New York\, in 1970\, and resides in Pembroke Pines\, Florida.

View a detailed exhibition history & recognitions below.\nkinkopfstudios.com \nAmarelle Kukici  \nAmarelle Kukići is an emerging self-taught artist whose paintings and sculptures have been sought by galleries and museums across the state of Florida. Her work is deeply inspired by ecology as well as the shifting physical and mental landscapes that define our reality. Merging the familiar with visions of the surreal\, she creates dreamlike figurative compositions that attempt to capture the unease of modernity and our displacement from the natural world. Each mixed media sculpture in this collection is crafted primarily from discarded materials in an effort to build an eco-conscious practice that aligns with the environmental sensitivity which unites the full body of her work.  \namarellekukici.com \nHal Yaskulka \nHal Yaskulka was born in Brooklyn\, New York.  His one man shows include the West Valley Art Museum\, in Sun City Arizona\, the San Marino Gallery in Pasadena\, Ca.\, Harris Meisel Gallery in Santa Barbara\, Ca.\, Bruchion Gallery in West Los Angeles\, Stanley’s Gallery in the San Fernando Valley\, Agape Art Gallery in Culver City and Dassen Gallery\, Beverly Hills\, California.

SUMMARY:New Nostalgia | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:NEW NOSTALGIA\n&REW SORIA\nEast Gallery\nJoin us for a first look on August 7th\, 6 – 9pm. Part of First Friday Art Walk\nArts Warehouse presents New Nostalgia\, works by Andrew Soria. Soria’s work consists of unique landscapes created from reimagined photographs. His subjects are iconic architecture\, city streets\, and overlooked urban details\, discovered through immersion in a specific area. Often walking these urban areas\, Soria takes photographs on site and assembles the images into pop surreal compositions. The new landscapes have a kitschy and nostalgic feel as the familiar imagery encourages connection and memory of somewhere one may have visited before. At first glance\, the images appear colorful and inviting however when viewed more closely\, small disruptions\, hidden details\, and symbolic elements begin to surface\, pointing to themes of displacement\, inequality\, resilience\, and longing. These new landscapes also act as documentation of a place\, preserving the character or specific iconography as the place evolves and sometimes disappears. \nThe exhibition includes a selection of Soria’s assembled landscapes from various locations such as Mexico City\, Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood\, and Fremont Street in Las Vegas\, Nevada. A life-size piece spanning 9 feet wide titled Mementos of America is also on view. With the larger format it creates the feeling of stepping into the landscape\, and provides an opportunity to closely observe the hidden details. Alongside the large work\, detail shots that are isolating and highlighting imagery found within the large format piece. These layered scenes encourage viewers to slow down and spend time with the work\, much like how we experience the neighborhoods we live in or move through. The images reflect how neighborhoods grow\, change\, and sometimes break under social\, economic\, and cultural pressure. \nNew Nostalgia is on view in the East Gallery at Arts Warehouse beginning August 7 – September 26\, 2026. \nAndrew Soria [B. 1986\, Red Bank\, NJ] is a pop surrealist photographer known for hyperreal\, large-scale cityscape composites. Drawing from his Latino heritage and personal experiences\, he constructs dense\, vividly colored environments by individually photographing and assembling architectural elements\, signage\, and urban textures into meticulously detailed compositions. \nHis work explores the tension between nostalgia and modernity\, often centering on the visual overload of commercial landscapes and the stories embedded within them. Series such as Welcome to the Neighborhood\, Beverly Row\, and Faded Glory examine themes of class disparity\, cultural identity\, and the layered contradictions of city life\, using surreal photomontage to transform familiar places into immersive\, dreamlike environments. \nSoria has exhibited internationally in cities including Miami\, New York\, Los Angeles\, San Francisco\, Paris\, Berlin\, Hong Kong\, Toronto\, and Seoul. His work has been featured in publications such as Juxtapoz\, Hi-Fructose\, Plastik\, and Assouline. \nAndrewsoria.com \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
