Rubem Robierb’s Roots to Fly at VISU Contemporary – February 5 through March 15
Coming off its acclaimed David LaChapelle exhibition, VISU Contemporary in Miami continues to make waves with Roots to Fly by visual poet and conceptual artist Rubem Robierb, whose design was recently selected as Miami’s Official Host City Poster for the FIFA World Cup 2026. On view February 5 through March 15, the exhibition is an immersive and deeply personal journey through memory, identity and imagination. Brazilian-born, Miami-based Robierb reflects on his childhood in Maranhão, Brazil, transforming autobiography into a universal meditation on where we come from and where we are capable of going. Featuring nearly 30 works across sculpture, painting and mixed media, the exhibition includes a smaller-scale version of “The Winged Canoe,” depicting a young boy modeled after the artist at age five, holding a lamp that symbolizes the inner light we must protect. With Roots to Fly, VISU continues to solidify its position as a leading platform for emotionally resonant contemporary art, while Robierb’s practice extends into the public realm with two large-scale sculptures on Lincoln Road.
