LnS Gallery presents, “Only Silence Hears,” the latest solo exhibition by celebrated artist, William Osorio.
The rug paintings that comprise the exhibition are a renewal in Osorio’s work, bridging traditions of textile and painting to discuss and defend the importance of leisure as a pillar of society. Only Silence Hears acts as a mirror to show the teeming potential of silence, inviting viewers to take part in repose. Join us in inaugurating this compelling exhibition on Friday, May 5 from 6:00 – 9:00pm, which will remain on view through July 8, 2023
William Osorio (b. 1989, Holguin, Cuba) is a Cuban-American artist utilizing his practice to investigate human behavior as it converges with themes of identity and place. Osorio’s affinity for the power of the arts started in his youth. He studied briefly at the School of Fine Arts in Holguin before emigrating to the US, where he further developed his skills on a self-taught basis. Osorio’s fascinations lie in the correspondent realities between the past and present using artistic allegories – either historic, contemporary, or his own – within this exploration. The trajectory of Osorio’s life has inspired the depth, spontaneity, and curiosity present within his work.
Osorio received The Ellies 2022 Creator Award issued by Oolite Arts, and participated in renowned residency programs including Home + Away at Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Snowmass, CO) in collaboration with Oolite Arts. From 2020 – 2022, he was an Artist-in-Residence at Bakehouse Art Complex (Miami, FL). Recent acquisitions by permanent collections include the Pérez Art Museum Miami (Miami, FL), Espacio 23 (Miami, FL), and the Frost Art Museum (Miami, FL).
LnS GALLERY is a progressive space committed to presenting and promoting the international reach and impact of contemporary art. Embracing unique forms of artistic expression, diverse techniques and a broad spectrum of conceptual approaches, the gallery exhibits artists working with traditional and experimental media.
Our gallery creates a platform that champions the multiculturalism and plurality of Miami-based artists. By curating comprehensive, catalogued exhibitions of represented artists, we preserve and promote their legacies in the global art proscenium. We also organize thematic exhibitions with broader geographic parameters along with showcasing significant historical artworks.
LnS maintains an environment that balances open dialogue with criterion-based selection. Through constant adaptation to individual artistic expression in counterpoint with education and open exploration, we offer and sponsor a range of private exchanges and public events. Our space strives to improve awareness of the arts through outreach programs in our community, including partnerships with established institutions, foundations, private collectors, archives and organizations of higher learning.
With over fifteen years of experience in the field, we remain passionate about assisting art collectors in building their collections and acquiring selected artworks by emerging, mid-career, and internationally renowned master artists. As we welcome new friends and collectors, we provide art advising, market analysis, framing and conservation services.
We look forward to your visit to our space or to our site and welcome you to join our cultural adventure.
Open to all visitors from 11—4 pm. Progressive Art Brunch brings together participating galleries several Sundays throughout the year. The event highlights the current programming at each venue and enables visitors a more intimate look at the exhibitions on view.
