VERO BEACH, FLA.- Discover nature’s fragility, its power, and its potential to transform and endure in A Tangled Plot: Works by Annie Blazejack and Geddes Levenson, an original exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) from July 12 through October 5. In more than 40 paintings and mixed-media works, the duo reveals their unique and highly collaborative artistic process. The works illuminate their deep connections to the Florida landscape through exploration of its diverse wildlife, marine life, and intricate ecosystems, including swamps, marshes, hardwood hammocks, and mangrove forests.
Blazejack and Levenson, who both hail from Miami, Florida, draw inspiration from literature, poetry, ecology, and science fiction, among other sources, reimagining them in a world uniquely their own. A Tangled Plot refers both to an unruly plot of land and to a narrative structure filled with intricate, interwoven storylines. The works included are complex and convoluted, featuring multiple characters, subplots, and unexpected twists, which challenge the audience to unravel the narrative threads.
