Check out “Altered Realities,” one of the new exhibits at the Lighthouse ArtCenter Museum of Art in Tequesta. This show features a retrospective from contemporary artist Jake Fernandez.
Fernandez’s drawings, photographs and paintings, some of which span more than 12 feet wide, create landscapes by deconstructing reality and reassembling it according to his own precise and calculated imagination.
In a recent review, Lynette M.F. Bosch, an art historian and State University of New York professor, said, “In paintings and drawings, Fernandez takes you through a woodland path or brings you to a meditative pause at the edge of a lake, pond or stream. His colors and forms move your sight, through the passing times of day, in which each degree of changing light transforms time.”
His works are in numerous public and private collections throughout the world, including the Florida House of Representatives and the Capitol building in Tallahassee.
Fernandez will give an artist’s talk at the museum’s third Thursday event, Feb. 21. You can enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.. The lecture is at 6 .p.m.
His show runs through March 13.
