Amazing Art: Minyades at The Bonnier Gallery (Miami)

 

Richard Höglund’s new series of paintings for the exhibition Minyades are dark excavations that come through to the other side of the pandemic.

Debuting at The Bonnier Gallery during Miami Art Week, the show is entitled Minyades, opens Dec. 2 through Feb. 28, and is curated by Grant Bonnier.

This story-rich show took a year for Bonnier and Höglund to painstakingly conceptualize together. The result is raising the bar for the eagerly anticipated return of Art Basel to Miami.

The public is invited to meet the artist at the opening reception at The Bonnier Gallery, on Thursday evening, December 2 at 7:00 p.m.  Jill Silverman van Coenegrachts has been invited by the Gallery to write for the first in a series of new art books that Grant Bonnier will be publishing. Looking for Order: Painting After Covid is the title of the powerful new essay that was written by Jill Silverman van Coenegrachts, in the catalogue for the gallery show titled Minyades. Born in 1982, Richard Höglund studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and semiology at MIT in Boston, USA. He holds a MFA (DNSEP, 2008) obtained at the Haute école des arts du Rhin, in Strasbourg, France.  In 2013, Höglund was selected by Tacita Dean to participate in her workshop at the Fundación Botín in Santander.  His paintings are considerations of History and Language. The Dallas Museum of Art recently acquired Höglund’s monumental painting, XIII STATION: MNEMOSYNON (History Painting VI: Via Crucis), for its permanent collection. The Bonnier Gallery is located at 3408 N.W. 7th Avenue in Allapattah, Miami’s burgeoning new arts district. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m.‒ 6:00 p.m.
