I went to the Miami Art Fair at the Convention Center in Miami Beach this past Sunday. It was a Beautiful show with wonderful classic and contemporary art from around the world. Most of the galleries were from Miami and the most outstanding of all the art I saw was this Special Installation by Federico Uribe “RISK” presented by Praxis Art Gallery in Miami. Just AMAZING. The whole thing was huge. The animals of the farm were made out of wood pieces and recycled tennis shoes. The flying birds were mainly recycled tennis shoes and the people were made out of pencils. It was amazing!!
