@beatmyguest Beatriz Monteavaro, "Tonight, We Can Be as One Tonight ."
Pablo Cano is a maker of fabulous things; a sculptor, a clay artist, a painter, a storyteller, and a builder of fantastical marionettes that he has been animating for over 30 years in various productions, mainly at the Cricket Theater, out of his garage in Coral Gables. Watercolors, painted backdrops, and marionettes featured in Cano’s productions, are featured in “Streams of Consciousness.”
Of his work and this exhibition, Cano says, “I remember the day my mother gave me a large sheet of white paper to draw on. Even now, the memory of the scent of that paper and Crayola crayons remains vivid. It was my escape into a world of castles, princesses, dragons, and knights. The act of drawing and the tactile nature of art materials continue to inspire me. I often experience a Proustian moment triggered by the simple smell of a fresh sheet of paper. My streams of consciousness occur in those moments when time stands still, allowing play and imagination to mix. It is a beautiful dance where the mind, heart, and hand create together as one. I dedicate this exhibition to my late mother Margarita Cano.”
Cano's work is held in the collections of the Cintas Collection, The Lowe Art Museum University of Miami, Florida, the NSU Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, The Perez Art Museum Miami, Florida, The Young at Art Museum, Davie, Florida, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Florida.
