An avid gardener and sculptor, Bradley Sabin finds inspiration through the nature around him. He describes his work as a metaphorical equation to the care and time, which is needed to have a healthy garden to human relationships that also require nurturing and protecting to flourish. Unlike other ceramicists, he works within the natural structure of exhibition spaces, tying these architectural environments into his complex and organic installations. Sabin’s well-honed technique and use of symbolic imagery explores themes of fecundity and fragility as well as strength and protection and emulation of the sublime.
As if The Colony Hotel could not get better, world-renowned artist Khalilah Birdsong shares a solo exhibition, The Pilgrimage, at Voltz Clarke Gallery’s rotating exhibition in the hotel’s Solarium. Birdsong’s inspiration for each piece stems from her passion for nature and the environment, which can be spotted in museums from London to Germany and beyond. Large-scale pieces in this collection emphasize Birdsong’s technique, utilizing loose and free painting mechanisms. This collection is on view from Jan. 16 through spring 2022, capturing the annual seasonal migration to Palm Beach at such a fitting time. 155 Hammon Ave., Palm Beach
For New Orleans-based sculptor Bradley Sabin, there’s no such thing as too many magnolias; he has a Japanese magnolia in his yard at home, and he’s made tens of thousands of ceramic magnolia blossoms glazed in deep reds, pinks, whites, and metallic blacks. “I have several flower forms I use, but people always gravitate to magnolias,” he says, “and this is a way to bring that nature inside.”
“In essence I intend to create a new story formed from the lives of others” says Cunningham.
