Conde Contemporary

Ernesto Capdevila's "Feeling Without Belonging" is a poignant painted wood sculpture that masterfully captures the tension of existing between two worlds. A central figure, whose expression seems caught between resolve and vulnerability, has a canoe piercing through its chest where the heart would reside. Inside the canoe, two small figures sit, seemingly detached yet part of the central subject’s internal world. This jarring juxtaposition of figures and objects serves as a metaphor for displacement, navigating through spaces both emotional and physical. The work speaks directly to the theme of The Space in Between, embodying the struggle of belonging while suspended between two identities, two places, or two states of being. Capdevila's use of raw, stripped-down wood highlights the fragility and rawness of this human experience, evoking a sense of isolation and introspection. This sculpture powerfully explores the notion that while one may traverse through different landscapes or life experiences, the inner sense of belonging remains elusive, tethered somewhere between past and present, between places we call home and those we leave behind. #ernestocapdevila #contemporaryart #fineart #representationalart #thespaceinbetween #condecontemporary #artinmiami #artexhibition

The Space in Between Conde Contemporary, 2024 “The Space in Between,” delves into the complex interplay of returning and belonging, capturing the essence of navigating between the past and the present. This exhibition explores the nuanced experience of coming back to familiar shores after a period of separation, where home is both a sanctuary and a landscape altered by time. At the heart of this exploration lies the metaphor of the silver cord—a luminous thread connecting our soul to our body, ensuring that even as we traverse spiritual or geographical distances, we remain tethered to our essence and origins. This cord symbolizes the enduring link between our place of birth and our chosen home, a bridge that holds us in a continuous state of connection despite physical separation As we traverse this liminal space, we confront the bittersweet tension of returning to a place that once held our deepest attachments but now appears both intimate and distant. The notion of home is redefined, revealing itself as a space that exists in perpetual transition. Here, we embrace the duality of existence—rooted in the past, yet perpetually evolving into the future. Much like the phenomena of quantum entanglement, where particles remain irrevocably connected across vast distances, the places of our birth and our chosen homes are bound in an invisible embrace, their connection transcending mere spatial separation. “The Space in Between” invites us to explore how we are both anchored and adrift, our hearts caught in the perpetual tug of dual belonging. This exhibition is a meditation on the beauty and complexity of existing in two spaces at once—a contemplation of how our memories and aspirations shape the continuum of our lives, eternally intertwined across time and space. #thespaceinbetween #condecontemporary #artinmiami #artexhibition #rubentorresllorca #portocarrero #ciroquintana #ruthowens #courtneyegan #andresconde #latinamericanart #americanart #newmedia #painting #sculpture #coralgables

"Conde's oeuvre now encapsulates a duality, painting both beauty and politics in tandem. His ongoing series "SOCIAL" resurrects the iconic Cuban magazine, offering a visual narrative spanning from 1939 to the brink of the 1959 revolution, symbolically bookending an era. His artistry delves into the portrayal of women, depicting them as embodiments of strength and vulnerability. Women take center stage in his work, exuding an ethereal allure that captivates the viewer's gaze, while men typically exist in a more subdued narrative backdrop."
