In the Spencer Gallery, visitors will be transported into
the vibrant and wild world of Helmut Koller. Originally
from Austria and now a resident of Palm Beach, Koller is
known for his vivid, bold, and celebratory animal paintings.
Kollerism, as he describes it, is an art movement defined by
the faithful representation of form and the abstraction of
colors, with no need for disciples. His art is a testament to
his singular and visionary approach.
Alongside Koller’s masterpieces, art enthusiasts will have the
opportunity to gaze upon the meticulously crafted sculptures by
Ellen Jewett, a Canadian artist whose intricate and imaginative
designs have garnered international acclaim. With a background
in fine art, anthropology, and zoology, Jewett’s work focuses
on animals portrayed in whimsical and surreal poses. Her deep
understanding of animal behavior and her artistic prowess result
in stunning and intricate sculptures that captivate the imagination.
The Schorr Gallery promises to immerse guests in the
breathtaking and awe-inspiring work of internationally acclaimed
fine art conservation photographers Mac Stone and Carlton
Ward Jr. Both Stone and Ward, National Geographic explorers,
dedicate their lives to connecting people with our cultural and
natural heritage and the preservation of the Everglades, one of
the world’s most unique and endangered ecosystems.
