The Wynwood Gallery Will Host a Special Opening Celebration With the Artist Duo, from December 1st Through December 3rd
Lina Cerrone Gallery, an international contemporary art gallery in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, is kicking off Miami Art Week with the launch of a new solo exhibition featuring the dynamic French-Brazilian pop art duo Leo & Steph. The exhibition opening will take place on Friday, December 1, from 5:30-9 p.m.
Leo & Steph have made a name for themselves by way of Paris, Dubai, Geneve, London and Miami by turning iconic brands, including Chanel, Hermès, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent, into unique and exclusive works of art. Leo, a Brazilian graphic and interior designer, and Steph, a well-renowned French producer with over 20 years of experience in the media industry, met and fell in love in Paris 13 years ago and turned their shared passion for pop art into collaborative pieces of playful and colorful works of art. Their new exhibition at Lina Cerrone Gallery will feature approximately 14 new prints alongside three new “KID CUP” sculptures, the pair’s iconic gender-neutral embodiments of the eternal, joyful inner child. The figures symbolize unending optimism, perpetually in pursuit of the whimsical and radiant aspects of life, with their ever-present cup representing a love for life’s offerings.
Lina Cerrone Gallery welcomes art enthusiasts and collectors who seek both established and rising talents. It especially caters to those with an eye for European and South American artists, offering a diverse range of contemporary works, from neo-pop art to classical fine art. The gallery uniquely showcases artists who transform new mediums into art. For example, it was the first gallery in the U.S. to exhibit works by Patrick Roger, a famed French chocolatier and sculptor known for his chocolate sculptures that metamorphose into bronze. The gallery also features “Le Chocolat des Francais,” known for its artistically designed packaging celebrated at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, and COCOADDICTION created by French chefs Oliver Rodriguez and Greg Pugin, a former chef at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon.
“More than just a gallery space, Lina Cerrone Gallery is a pulsating heart in the Wynwood Arts District,” said Fredric Lean, co-founder of
Lina Cerrone Gallery. “Lina Cerrone and I have strived to create a haven where art isn’t just displayed but lives and breathes. We are excited to present this solo exhibition by Leo & Steph to showcase the pair’s latest works. Each piece in the collection is one-of-a-kind, emphasizing its uniqueness as a series of 1/1.”
The untitled Leo & Steph exhibition will be on view at Lina Cerrone Gallery through December 3, 2023.
Lina Cerrone Gallery is located at 2239 NW Second Ave., Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit linacerronegallery.com or follow on Instagram @linacerronegallery.
