Local and nationally award winning artist, photographer, graphic designer and animator, Laura Paresky Gould, presented her latest works titled,Miami Weather Almanac, at the private reception held at the penthouse of the Raleigh hotel. Among the 200 guest: Ocean Drive magazine's Glenn Albin and Eric Newill, Jim Budman, Iran Issa Khan, Niche Media's Alan Randolph, Jessica Goldman, Allison Spear, Architectual Digest's Adrienne Kauderer and Jodie Winsor, Modern Luxury magazine president Leslie Wolfson, Leslie Zigel, WSVN 7 meteorologist David Bernard, Laura's parent's Linda and David Paresky and Terry Riley, the new director of the Miami Art Museum.
Miami Weather Almanac is a series of bright-colored artworks by Laura Paresky Gould. At first glance, the works on paper, canvas, collage, and video are delightful graphic color studies of circles, stripes, and squares; yet each is layered with historical information. The work visually dispenses the data of Miami record temperatures from 1839 through spring 2007 using information derived from the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA).
Check out the exhibit this week at the Seth Jason Beitler Fine Arts gallery in the Wynwood Arts District at 250 NW 23rd St, gallery 202. www.sethjason.com.
