Angelica Clyman: Artist Talk and Painting Demonstration
Wednesday, Oct 16, 2024 from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM
In “Things Look Bright All Over,” Angelica Clyman explores the history of three noteworthy Broward County locations: the Two-Million Dollar Banyan, the Sunrise Upside-Down House, and the Hollywood Beach Hotel. Through mixed media paintings, sculptures, prints, and collected ephemera, portions of the life cycles of these iconic places are resurrected for viewers to reflect upon the rapidly shifting South Florida culture and landscape. The exhibition’s title draws inspiration from vintage Florida tourism ads and the depicted sites showcase the intricate relationship South Florida maintains with its reputation as a vacation paradise. This exhibition is made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division.
Mixed-media artist Angelica Clyman resides and works in her home city of Hollywood, Florida. Her paintings, sculptures, and prints represent South Florida locations in both past and present. Through her work, she seeks to find a sense of place, history, and understanding in a landscape that is changing quickly. Her work is included in the Miami Children’s Museum’s permanent collection, and her solo shows include Land of Sunshine (IS Projects) and Beyond Reflection (Art Center/South Florida, now Oolite Arts). She holds degrees from Florida International University (MFA) and the New World School of the Arts (BFA). In addition to serving as the Director for the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery at Broward College, Central Campus, Clyman also teaches studio art courses.
