Miami Beach, Florida, December 5th, 2018 - Steidel Contemporary, of London and Palm Beach, will be featured at the upcoming Aqua Art Miami fair with an eclectic and multidisciplinary showcase. The exhibition will be centered on the central theme of redefining meaning in today’s ever-changing social environment and the broader quest for emotional connection, identity, and authenticity. The artwork on display will include abstract paintings by British artist Ian Rayer-Smith, street/pop art by New York City-based Tina Psoinos, contemporary wood art by Mark Henry Doolittle, and ceramic sculpture by Debra Steidel among other assembled collections. Many of the works included will embrace surrealist automatism, cultural commentary, perpetual motion and, hidden symbolism with the purpose of contextualizing the artist’s work or place in society.
