Palm Beach, FL – 33 Contemporary Gallery is proud to present Museology: Art, People, and the Spaces Between, a solo exhibition of new works by acclaimed painter Heather Arenas. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Wednesday, June 5, from 6 to 8 PM, and will remain on view throughout the month of June at the Palm Beach Art & Design Showroom.
In Museology, Arenas delves into the profound connections between art, viewers, and the silent spaces that lie between them. Inspired by the quiet revelations found during museum visits, the artist reimagines these moments as deeply personal journeys—where meaning, memory, and emotion intertwine.
Using a refined palette of white, yellow, red, and black, Arenas paints compelling scenes that explore life’s dualities—joy and tension, presence and distance. A central figure in the work is “Dot,” a small yellow character representing warmth, goodness, and the enduring influence of her grandmothers. “Dot” becomes a symbolic guide, inviting viewers to consider their own narratives in relationship to art.
“These spaces between art and observer are more than voids,” Arenas explains. “They’re full of interpretation, emotional resonance, and memory. I want viewers to step into that space and find something meaningful for themselves.”
Arenas’ unique blend of figurative elements, museum-inspired scenes, and symbolic use of color create a visually poetic experience that invites contemplation and conversation.
