CARLOS ALFONZO
WITNESSING PERPETUITY
LnS GALLERY continues its third Season of the Arts with Carlos Alfonzo: Witnessing Perpetuity. Collaborative research and a strong community-based passion for the work of Alfonzo – an important historical creative pioneer and key contributor to Miami’s role as a center of artistic force – have realized an exhibition that embodies a comprehensive chronology of artistic evolution in works that span from 1976-1990. With reverence and intention, the 5,000 square foot gallery space is dedicated in its entirety to the exhibition, aligning to commemorate what would have been the year of Alfonzo’s seventieth birthday.
A 78-page hardcover catalog including an essay by Julia P. Herzberg, Ph.D., expert on the artist, accompanies the exhibition, which features works that have been handled by LnS GALLERY, alongside a number of works on loan that are considered essential to honoring the artist’s life, his scope of work, and his mark on a formative time in the history of Miami.
