Mandarin Oriental, Miami and Peruvian gallery MORBO welcome guests to enjoy a special exhibition of contemporary art titled “Pure Abstraction” during the prestigious Art Basel Miami Beach from December 3 to 6, 2015. The exhibition will be launched with a special artist appearance and experimental electric violin performance on Thursday, December 3, 2015.
Making its debut in the hotel’s waterfront Peruvian restaurant La Mar by Gastón Acurio, “Pure Abstraction” features artworks by internationally recognized contemporary street artist and award-winning painter Alex Brewer, known as HENSE. The exhibition celebrates the restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere and eclectic cuisine with a collection of artworks combining techniques of graffiti and abstract painting. Elegant compositions saturated with bold colors and lively movement will show how HENSE explores the relationship between his experiences in the studio and on the street.
On Thursday, December 3, 2015 from 7pm to 9pm, La Mar will host an evening fusing art, music and technology. Guests will have the opportunity to meet HENSE and discuss his works, followed by an exclusive performance by Pauchi Sasaki of Peru. During Sasaki’s performance, she wears a dress of speakers which allows her to mix live violin performance with electronic music through sensors on her hands. A special menu inspired by the art and performance will be presented by La Mar Executive Chef Diego Oka.
