Artmedia Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its new space dedicated to the promotion and exhibition of contemporary art at the Wynwood Art District.

The gallery is exciting to present its first show, The Point, Photographs by Bernardo Olmos, which brings together a selection of photographs from two bodies of works, Light Series and Caracas ad hoc Series, both from 2010.

In his residence in Spain, while he was doing his master's degree, Bernardo Olmos developed in Light Series an interesting photographic sequence by monitoring the interaction of natural light with some points of architectural buildings, including his house. The outcome is a discourse of abstract nature by configuring a visible space through the relationships between lights and shadows.

Immediately, Olmos began a visually ambitious interpretative project, still in progress, in the Caracas ad hoc Series, based on the contemporary Caracas, the city where he was born and raised. In this series, he has been exploring some mid-twentieth century urban and architectural structures of Caracas. These structures turned the city into a laboratory for accelerated modernization, but they have became deteriorated examples of this process during the last decades. On this topic, Olmos delivers a visual metaphor about the social and cultural meaning of “modern ruins.”
