"However evolved we may think we are, the folly of human behavior is still the root of all societal (dis)functions...through thoughtful reexamination and a commitment to change, we can break the cycle of repeating our mistakes."

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- Mindy Solomon, premiering her new gallery in the center of the Wynwood Arts District, brings over two decades of international art experience as an educator, collector, and gallerist. Ranked in 2013 as one of the top six galleries in Florida by the prestigious Blouin Modern Painter magazine, her sophisticated and bold curating style will debut in Miami with a solo show by American Matt Vis and British-born Tony Campbell. The pair, known artistically as Generic Art Solutions, or G.A.S., presents a collection of work in an exhibition entitled 'Renaissance Men.' The Opening Reception will be held Wednesday, October 16th, from 6:00-9:-00pm. The exhibition will be on view October 17th through November 16th.

“I am thrilled to open my new gallery in Wynwood,” says Mindy Solomon. “Watching the art market explode in Miami over the past several years inspired me to make the move. The work of Generic Art Solutions is an ideal choice for our first exhibition as the work is resplendent with historical references that quickly engage public response. Narrative images featuring the artists, Matt Vis and Tony Campbell, inspire delight and consideration as the viewer re-constructs the painting references from memory. The artists are also accomplished videographers with a flair for drama and humor as conveyed by their performance works. The familiarity of subject, combined with a fresh contemporary perspective, educates and entertains. Variety of scale and medium are a hallmark of the Mindy Solomon Gallery program, and Generic Art Solutions epitomizes this perspective.”

The work of Generic Art Solutions (whether it be a photograph, performance, video, or print) begins with a thoughtful reexamination of the human condition, and the effect of recurring cycles of technological advancements and cultural awakenings. But how much has mankind really evolved? Aren’t we essentially still making the same mistakes? According to the artists, it would certainly seem so. Compare Gericault’s famed painting 'The Raft of the Medusa,' 1819, to the G.A.S. representation of Deepwater Horizon's oil spill in April 2010, as depicted in their photographic work 'The Raft' (2010, below): these two artworks portray shockingly similar tales of human suffering brought on by corporate greed. Or take Delacroix’s 'Liberty Leading the People' commemorating the French Revolution in 1830, and the perpetual revolutionary uprisings of the Arab Spring as seen in G.A.S.'s 'Liberty,' 2011. The artists state: "However evolved we may think we are, the folly of human behavior is still the root of all societal (dis)functions. This is a sobering thought that demands attention. But there is a message of hope in these contemporary homages: through thoughtful reexamination and a commitment to change, we can break the cycle of repeating our mistakes."

Mindy Solomon Gallery is located at 172 NW 24th Street in Miami, Florida, open 11:00am-5:00pm Tuesday through Saturday, and by appointment; call 786-953-6917 or email info(at)mindysolomon(dot)com for information.

High-resolution images, artist interviews, and transcripts of artist interviews are available upon request for reference and publication. Please contact Kristin Carlson, Think All Day Design + PR, at 505-501-2497 or k(at)thinkallday(dot)com with image and interview requests.

About Generic Art Solutions
Generic Art Solutions is the collaborative effort of Matt Vis and Tony Campbell. This New Orleans-based art duo utilizes nearly every art medium to examine the recurring themes of human drama and the (dis)functions of contemporary society. Always rooted in the performative, they play every character in their own works. In their more distilled 'duets,' we see something of a yin and yang (a balance between individuals who aren’t quite interchangeable), but in their more elaborate stagings, the resultant effect is as epic as the subject matter itself. By combining Classical, Romantic, and Baroque compositional elements with contemporary pictorial techniques, G.A.S. illuminates the common threads that connect past histories with current events. G.A.S. is represented exclusively by the Mindy Solomon Gallery in Florida.
