About the Item

This original mixed-media work by Amado Peña Jr. exemplifies the artist’s refined synthesis of Southwestern figuration, Indigenous textile traditions, and modernist compositional restraint. The composition centers on a solitary figure rendered in watercolor and ink, cloaked in a vividly patterned garment that recalls traditional Southwestern weaving motifs. Peña’s restrained yet expressive line work is complemented by a serene landscape palette of soft turquoise blues and muted greens, creating a sense of quiet introspection and spiritual stillness. The work is further distinguished by the incorporation of handwoven textile elements and handmade paper, integrated directly into the composition. These tactile materials lend dimensionality and reinforce Peña’s lifelong engagement with Indigenous craftsmanship and cultural memory. The visible fibers and layered surfaces speak to the artist’s belief in art as both image and object. The piece is signed by the artist and presented in its original wood frame, which complements the organic materials and earth-toned palette. Peña’s works are widely collected and held in major museum collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and are celebrated for their ability to bridge tradition and modernity with elegance and respect. A strong example of Peña’s mature mixed-media practice, this work is well suited for collectors of Southwestern modernism, textile-influenced art, and culturally rooted contemporary works.

Mixed Media Textile Assemblage Collage Painting on Wood Yanira Collado, Miami

Located in Surfside, FL

Yanira Collado (Dominican, American, 1975 ) "Que Ya Estan En El Olvido" Mixed Media unique fabric and painting assemblage collage on plywood Textile, clothing and found material on a custom-made frame. COA signed by the artist on 11/27/2020. Provenance: Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, where Collado was a resident artist. DIMENSIONS: H: 30" W: 24" As a child, Collado traveled between social structures: from Brooklyn, New York where she was born; to the Dominican Republic; to Miami, where her mother worked to become a tailor. Her use of construction materials summons the perception of a displaced personal and public history. She is a Caribbean African American artist with a Feminist leaning. In her practice, Collado displays an awareness of language conveyed through a keen analysis of identity, the latter referenced in her use of reclaimed literary texts and textiles, simultaneously opposed by various construction materials: wood, concrete, masonry brick, iron, and drywall. Materials with inherent geographic histories, processes, and economies imply varying degrees of personalized and public memory. "My connections are grounded to an alternate imagination: a Caribbean imagination and an alchemic consciousness. The Dominican Republic is a culturally rich country. Our musical narratives, folkloric traditions, oral histories, spiritual and supernatural beliefs are complex and embedded in our everyday life. All these components shaped my perceptions, sensibilities, and life experiences. I am always seeing the world through a Caribbean lens". Her artist residency fellowships include Bridge Red Art Center, North Miami, FL (2013-present), Project Row Houses, Houston, TX (2018), Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, FL (2019 – present), and the Joan Mitchell Foundation residency in New Orleans, LA (2020). She was awarded a South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship in 2021, and Ellie Creator Grant from Oolite in 2019, first place in the 2013 South Florida Biennial at the Art and Cultural Center/Hollywood, FL, and a Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship in 2018. Her work has been featured in group shows around the country including Perez Art Museum, Miami, FL; El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; PRIZM Art Fair, Miami, FL; Storage Project Space, New York, NY; Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, FL; Project Row Houses, Houston, TX; Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL; Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Florida International University, Miami, FL; The Franklin, Chicago, IL; Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL; and NOVA University, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Collado’s work was pictured in the Artforum Critic’s Pick, accompanying the review of Fragment, a group exhibition at Emerson Dorsch. In 2016, Collado had a one-person exhibit at the Museum of Art + Design at Miami Dade College, in collaboration with Bridge Red Studios. She had solo exhibitions with Dimensions Variable, Under the Bridge and Far Side Gallery in 2018. In 2019, an interview with her and Onajide Shabaka, mediated by Ryan N. Dennis, was published in BOMB Magazine. Her work is in the collections of Perez Art Museum Miami and El Museo del Barrio. Collado lives and works in North Miami, FL.
