The discourse surrounding Stacy Conde's work often highlights her dedicated support for the artists she represents, yet there remains an underreported facet: her own prolific contributions as an artist. While she's celebrated for elevating diverse voices and nurturing artist’s careers, the narrative often overlooks Conde's significant endeavors as a creator in her own right. This article aims to unveil the multifaceted nature of Conde's work, shedding light on her dual roles as both a passionate advocate for artists and a talented creator.

The young Cuban artist living and working in Mexico is expanding, literally. While his entire body of work deals with memory, normally in the form of miniature momentos frozen in time and place, he has begun to paint larger works on the same theme. Duportai is a graduate of the esteemed La Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes, San Alejandro in Havana. His work has been shown in Havana, Miami, Paris and Los Angeles, as well as in the PAN Museum of Contemporary Art, Naples, Italy.

These three South American artists, Pablo Santibáñez Servat, Giovanni Gellona, and Antonio Cavagnaro, possess great technical skill and fertile imaginations. They are each deeply rooted in symbology and cultural iconography which crosses ethnological divisions. All three manage to maintain a graceful sense of aesthetic values while communicating an often blood soaked narrative. They are, individually, an incredibly rare find, unicorns even, and I am incredibly grateful to work them.

These are the desires of our community as expressed at The Wishing Tree during Allumer Natchez, November 19th - 21st, 2021. They have transcribed exactly as they were written, only removing names for privacy.

Contemporary Cuban artist Danco Duportai García explores memory, identity, and personal history through The Miniature Portrait Project, an ongoing series of intimate oil paintings that revive the tradition of portrait miniatures. Each work transforms fleeting moments, treasured objects, and individual likenesses into carefully rendered tokens of memory.

The title “Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil” has been one I’ve always found profoundly evocative and imaginative, it asks you to consider what that place and time might look and feel like. Our exhibition, of the same name, was simply my interpretation of that glorious title.

Conde Contemporary presents a multi-sensory, immersive art exhibition titled “Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil”, taking place this October 16th-18th at Conde Contemporary, 334 Main Street, Natchez, Mississippi.

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." ...and so here we find ourselves, in the midst of chaos, disease, uncertainty and ugliness. It's easy to get lost in it, the anger and despair of the gutter. Though, it is precisely times like these when looking at the stars is crucial.

Conde Contemporary, located at 334 Main Street, will host its opening reception and exhibition, "Chapter 3" on Friday, July 10th from 6-9 pm.

Coral Gables based fine art gallery, Conde Contemporary, is relocating to Natchez, Mississippi. Stacy Conde, owner and director of the primarily Latin American gallery, acknowledges at first glance the move may seem counterintuitive.

The work of Pablo Santibáñez Servat is a magical synthesis of occidental and indigenous visuals intrinsic to the Americas. He often weaves ancient symbols with contemporary images as though no time has lapsed; he creates his own symbolic language, which seems to deny the very concept of time or at least the beginning and ending of eras, suggesting instead the coexistence of epochs or congruence of time.

"On a recent Thursday night, the Conde Contemporary Gallery on Miracle Mile held the opening for its new show, “Idols of the Tribe,” a collection of symbolic and magical realism works mostly by Cuban and Latin American painters and sculptors. If the gallery scene in the Gables is dead, no one bothered to tell the more than 400 people who came through the gallery that night."

Twiggy, Bowie and Yoko were regulars, and Freddie Mercury met his girlfriend and partner Mary Austin while she was a shopgirl there. "[Freddie] was so very clever. He told me to get the roof garden [at the final Biba store] restricted so nobody could touch it. He was really thinking," Hulanicki recalls.

On behalf of the participating artists and myself, thank you for making the opening night of “no method to our madness” a success. If you’ve not yet seen the exhibition and find yourself in Miami, please do stop in or give us a call to schedule a private viewing. The show will be up through March 14th.

We've been asked to give a talk, Collecting on A Budget, to a group we're delighted to host, Women United, "...a global force of 70,000 plus women dedicated to creating a world of opportunity, for everyone", at the gallery this month for a reception, talk and preview of the upcoming exhibition, "Return to Order", which opens on Friday, November 30th. 

It occurred to us, this might also interest you, so here's a basic overview.
