Blast from the Past: SunSentinel XS Magazine: Don Shearer, Purvis Young and Roly Chang share similar Vibe...



I was pleasantly surprised to when Sandra Schulman forwarded this image
of a 1993 cover story about Don Shearer, "The Angel Man", for the SunSentinel's XS
magazine that included a snippet which stated:
 "Simple evanescent work. with a gothic, mythic quality.
 This kind of art is the underbelly of Florida's bright, sunshiny image. Other artists like Overtown's Purvis Young and Miami's Roly Chang are creating art with similar vibe."
-Sandra Schulman, XS Magazine

More than a  quarter of a century has past since the artists, promoters, restauranteurs, drag queens, fashion models, and DJ's hit the well documented scene Miami Beach Scene that emerged in the late 80's and continues to flourish today throughout South Florida.

With the assistance of well versed writers, cultural documentarians;
Sandra Schulman, Louis Canales, and artist Don Shearer who will lead a presentation at The Box Gallery on the
Art Scene of the American Riviera
in conjunction with

Palm Beach Post Today! Is Belvedere Road the new “cultural corridor” of West Palm Beach?

The Palm Beach Post


Is Belvedere Road the new “cultural corridor” of West Palm Beach?
By Barbara Marshall-Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

The christening party for what Barrerro and his partners hope will be Palm Beach County’s newest arts district starts Friday with three days of events behind the fresh white facade of Barrerro’s 4,000-square-foot Box Gallery.
The All-Florida Exhibition includes work of about 30 artists from all over the world who now live in Florida. Saturday night’s event will include six hours of live music, films and performance art. Sunday, curators, artists and arts administrators from around the country will present conversations about the state of the arts in South Florida.
“Rolando was a huge force in making the arts more alive,” said Debbie Coles-Dobay, Boynton Beach’s public art manager. “He’s very clever and very creative. He’s an excellent curator. He will look at the trends, meet many different artists, look at what’s happening in world and decide what will attract people.”

Rolando Chang Barrero on the 10 Best Visual Artists List..


Ten Best Visual Artists in Palm Beach County

BY BRITTANY ACKERMAN

Broward Palm Beach New Times

 Rolando Chang Barrero makes the list!

Visit activistartista.com, or follow him on Twitter, or Facebook.
Rolando Chang Barrero is a South Florida native born in Coconut Grove. He has a BFA from the School of Art Institute of Chicago and also attended the Oxbow School of Art, Penland School of Crafts, and has participated in various internships with paper makers and filmmakers. Barrero’s newest work is a series of paintings that explore the relationship between childhood toys and gender, in which he takes a deeper look at toys and color assignments — the feminine vs. the masculine and whether color has any impact on the assignation of gender to toys. Barrero’s awards and accolades include the Ryerson Traveling Fellowship,New Times Best Art Walk 2013, and New Times Best Exhibition 2014. “I'm pretty much a subversive artist,” says Barrero. “I create really approachable, one can say, cute images that have really serious intellectual and political context.” Barrero has also created a plethora of programs to elevate the art scene in Palm Beach County, as he is director of the Boynton Beach Arts District, president of the Florida Arts Association and Art Synergy, and owner-curator of ActivistArtistA Gallery in Boynton Beach, The Rolando Chang Barrero Fine Art Gallery in Lake Worth, and a soon-to-be third gallery called the White Box Gallery in West Palm Beach. His work can be seen currently at Art Boca Raton,Tedds Art Works in Fort Lauderdale, and the Gallery at the Center for Creative Education.
