The Divine Feminine: Contemporary Women Sculptors
Curated by Sarah Gavlak and Allison Raddock in partnership with New Wave

The Divine Feminine celebrates the artistic prowess and spiritual depth of contemporary female sculptors. This exhibition invites visitors to explore the profound contributions of women sculptors, highlighting the divine feminine energy that permeates their work. Within the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, contemporary artists engage in a dialogue with Ann Weaver Norton’s monumental sculptures. The interplay between past and present is palpable, creating a nuanced conversation that respects tradition while pushing artistic boundaries. Through a curated selection of works that span a broad spectrum of artistic styles and perspectives, this exhibition serves as a vivid testament to the diverse, richly nuanced tapestry of the sculptural world as seen through the eyes of these celebrated artists.

Artist in Residence Jordi Mollà
Savage Garden| Jardín Salvaje, in partnership with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Fair and Paul Fisher Gallery.

 Jordi Mollà was born on July 1, 1968, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and has earned international acclaim as an actor, painter, writer, and director. A renowned visual artist, Mollà has been exhibiting regularly in fine art galleries and art fairs internationally for over 30 years. His breakthrough NFT series MASKED was phenomenally successful, selling out immediately and earning acclaim as an artistic breakthrough in a new medium, relying only on his painterly talent, he seamlessly integrates the most ancient and the most contemporary expressions of fine art.

In 2022 Molla received the prestigious distinction of the naming: “Camino de Jordi Mollà Perales”, in the town of Montesa in Spain in his honor.  Also, in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the first bull to grace Spanish roads, Jordi created 65 unique  hand-painted toros/bulls sculptures. In 2022/23 Molla exhibited in Palm Beach, Florida, Mexico City, Zurich Switzerland and various major art fairs with Paul Fisher Gallery. Through the month of September 2023 Molla’s paintings and upcoming new NFT series “Behind the Masks” were featured in video billboards in Times Square and Chicago.

Mollà connects and communicates visually with his audience through a plethora of different styles and techniques that take him from abstract to pop, graffiti to hyper-realism. Although some of Mollà’s art may seem spontaneous and created in the bounds of a finite time frame, a great number of his sought-after works have taken the artist years to complete. Mollà often returns again and again to a piece, adding ideas, colors, feelings, and universes of experience in a new unit of time, thus enriching the artwork, bestowing it renewed breath and life.

Past Exhibitions

Discovering Creativity – American Art Masters in partnership with Heather James Fine Art

Discovering Creativity will weave the curatorial story of American Art masters by showcasing their artwork both chronologically and stylistically. The artists in the exhibition are all members of the Historic Artists’ Home and Studios (HAHS) Program, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. HAHS is a group of 61 museums that once served as homes and working spaces for the artists, which includes, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andrew and N.C. Wyeth, Thomas Hart Benton, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. As a HAHS member, the exhibition will also feature a special selection of works by Ann Norton, and Heather James Fine Art and Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens are working in concert with HAHS leadership to develop and promote this unique initiative that highlights the rich artist legacies of member sites.

Paul Gervais
An Endangered Landscape;
Recent Paintings of the Hypoluxo Scrub

Paul Gervais happened upon Hypoluxo Scrub by chance. Passing by on the Brightline returning from Miami he noticed a swathe of land that seemed to be untouched by development. Googling it he came upon the Natural Area and visited it the very next day. “It’s the way all of this looked before Europeans arrived,” Gervais explains. “This is the real South Florida, so intently maintained by those visionaries who chose to preserve it as an invaluable reference, a fragment of Florida ecology all but lost by now.” Distinctly different from mid-nineteenth century landscape painting, such as that of the Barbizon artists, these works make no descriptive reference to any moment in time. There are no figures present and no signs of human activity; we’re shown only the white sands of the scrub and its starkly characteristic vegetation of palmetto and oak.

Gervais is both a visual artist and an author. Among his published books are the novel, Extraordinary People, which was a finalist for the prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, and A Garden in Lucca, a memoir about the celebrated garden he and his husband, Gil Cohen made at their Italian villa in Tuscany, where they lived for thirty-five years before eventually taking up residence both in West Palm Beach and in London. Gervais began making art seriously in the 1970s in Boston, producing works that he describes as “about simplicity,” inspired in part by the brushwork and gray pallet of Jack Tworkov and by the linear works of Agnes Martin. In the late seventies, he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the San Francisco Art Institute, and his works from that period were acquired by the Legion of Honor Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Bank of America Collection. Forever exploring new territory his paintings have addressed minimalist abstraction, “controlled expressionism,” geometry, portraiture and now, most recently, landscapes.
