Carolyn DiPaoloHermes Berrío’s exhibition celebrates everyday moments.
A new exhibition at the Armory Art Center features a Colombian-born artist who elevates everyday moments in urban life into large-scale eye candy.
In “Life or Something Like It,” Hermes Berrío of Miami draws from street culture and social media symbolism to create his paintings and mixed media.
- The solo show fills all three galleries at the West Palm Beach art center.
What he’s saying: “I capture the vibrancy and complexity of life as it unfolds, sometimes fragmented, sometimes exaggerated, always in flux,” Berrío’s artist statement says.
The exhibition is free and will run through May 9 at the Armory Art Center, 811 Park Place. Call 561-832-1776 to confirm hours.
- The Armory will host an opening reception to celebrate Berrío and his exhibition from 5:30 to 7:30 pm April 3.
- Berrío will lead a walk and talk and Q+A at 6:30 pm April 24.
- Both events are free and open to the public.
