Solo Exhibition: Pablo Vindel
The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum (CEAM) and Flagler College are proud to present a new solo exhibition. ‘en la noche prevalece un corazón lleno’ features Spanish artist Pablo Vindel. Part memory and part legacy, Vindel’s vignette of his personal and familial past and present is tenderly expressed through the repeated motifs of roses, thorns, and gold. Curated by former director Julie Dickover, the exhibition will be on view from October 4 through November 26, 2024.
The artist will lead a walk through of the exhibition during the First Friday Art Walk on Friday, October 4, 2024 from 5:00pm – 8:00pm. This event is free and open to the public.
About the Exhibit
Vindel holds degrees in both fiber and material studies and poetry in the expanded field. The title of his exhibition, loosely translating from Spanish to English as “in the night a full heart prevails,” alludes to an excerpt from Vindel’s mother’s poem published in 1976. His work explores a constellation of familial relationships, an homage to those he loved and lost, giving the process of grief and acceptance tangible form. As the artist says: “language must remain in constant movement to be transformed. Its’ malleability and capacity to reflect us, connects object and language, the word, and our bodies. I see this translation—material or linguistic—as a space of uncertainty, impulse, and loss.”
Vindel’s beautifully made objects are biological, performative, and textual in nature, reflecting the raw talent of the emerging artist. Each piece stemming from one another, the heart of the show being his artist book ‘jewelry for healing son’. The exhibition’s text, written by poet Terri Witek, discusses the rose petals featured as skin – bodies lengthening and stretching, the preservation process prolonging their life – an extension of his grief over the loss of his mother and a path to charting constellations holding both pain and joy. Through his delicate yet stirring approach, the artist plays with this concept of preservation as he walks the viewer through a memoir of objects.
