Jupiter

About the Gallery
JUPITER opened its doors in the Normandy Isles neighborhood of Miami Beach on March 5, 2022, with a solo presentation of new works by Marcus Leslie Singleton titled Diagrams and Dilemmas. Gallery founder Gabriel Kilongo said that "when presented with the opportunity to open a gallery in Miami, I began thinking of my experience in the United States. Jupiter is consequently how distant Miami is, or was, from the art capitals of the world, except during Art Basel in December. If New York is the Earth of the art world solar system, then Miami is Jupiter."

About the presentation
Jupiter will dedicate a solo presentation to the Los Angeles-born artist Milo Matthieu, whose work draws on the rich cultural legacy of his family’s Haitian heritage. Matthieu’s distinctive visual language of bright colors and anthropomorphic forms translates this into contemporary terms. His paintings of bold, abstracted figures are grounded in an automatic process beginning with the loose, unconscious movement of his brush across the canvas. Matthieu recently extended this intuitive approach, which channels the totality of his experiences rather than any one subject, into new sculptural works in wood and bronze.
