David LaChapelle: Vanishing Act
29 Nov 2025 - 1 Feb 2026 A new exhibition featuring works by LaChapelle. Vanishing Act will bring together over 30 works spanning LaChapelle’s career, including the world premiere of nine new pieces to be unveiled exclusively in Miami, and 5 additional pieces not previously available to collectors.
Vanishing Act arrives at a moment of global uncertainty and cultural introspection. With his singular ability to create narratives that blend theatricality and intimacy, LaChapelle presents a visual archive of a world in flux, where beauty meets crisis, and spirituality finds space within the chaos. The exhibition reflects on what we’ve built, what’s disappeared, and what remains sacred.
LaChapelle, whose career spans over three decades, continues to confront the paradoxes of beauty and decay, artifice and authenticity, with a unique visual language that merges theatricality, spirituality, and social critique. Vanishing Act gathers landmark works from across his career alongside new and never-before-seen pieces that reflect the deepening urgency of his practice today. Read more -
Rubem Robierb: Roots to Fly
A visual poem dedicated to the child I once was.... 3 Feb - 15 Mar 2026 Roots to Fly is the most personal and introspective exhibition of my career to date—a visual poem dedicated to the child I once was. A barefoot boy who spent endless afternoons chasing butterflies and fishing along the Mearim River in Maranhão , Brazil.
That boy had no idea he would grow up to be an artist, but he carried a sense of wonder and the belief that life was meant to be extraordinary, just like the fairy tales in his books….
This exhibition explores the relationship between where we come from and the dreams that carry us forward. At its center is the Roots to Fly sculpture—a life-sized of my younger self standing at the bow of a canoe, holding a little lantern, with a mangrove tree growing from his back. It’s a visual metaphor for the journey of life, where roots ground us and dreams give us wings.

My Silence is Made of Explosions
An exhibition celebrating the radical legacy of women in surrealism; extending it into the present through contemporary photography. 19 Mar - 31 May 2026 My Silence Is Made of Explosions" is a house of mirrors where vision becomes both a weapon and a dream. Each photograph is never a neutral surface: it is fractured by mirrors, refracted through color, layered with symbols, staged as performance, and rewritten on the body itself. Eyes split open like stars, skin turns into script, shadows whisper their secret geographies. These images destabilize the gaze, refusing to be contained by singular perspectives or fixed identities. Instead, they summon the uncanny, the intimate, and the political at once—revealing selves that multiply, shimmer, and resist. In dialogue with the women of surrealism who first turned the camera into a site of psychic revolt, this exhibition extends their legacy into the present, showing how acts of seeing can open portals into other realities, other freedoms, other futures. As Claude Cahun once demanded, “Let me at last be granted the right to see with my own eyes.”This exhibition answers that demand, showing vision as rebellion, as metamorphosis, as freedom.
Curated by noted surrealist connoisseur/collector David Raymond. Co-curated by Bruce Halpryn, art collector and VISU Contemporary owner/curator.

STARSKY BRINES
VANISHING 20 May - 17 Jun 2023 Visu Contemporary is pleased to announce, VANISHING a solo exhibition of new paintings by widely collected artist Starsky Brines, touching on the subject of coexistence with all beings and animal species in danger of extinction. The show will benefit Defenders of Wildlife, with a portion of each sale going to the non-profit. The exhibit will be on display at the gallery from May 20th to June 17th, 2023, with an opening reception on May 20th from 6-8pm.
Inspired by Joel Sartore’s book, “Vanishing” which documents endangered species, Brines has created eleven new canvases which showcase his distinctive style, created through a raw and energetic mix of industrial paint, spray paint and grease pencil.
“I have always been an avid collector of books to feed my curiosity and love of knowledge, images and motifs. I ran into a book called, “Vanishing” by Joel Sartore many years ago. Time went by, but only in the past year I began to feel a deep connection with it. Since it is dedicated to animals and fauna, which are a major part of my pictorial approach, I decided to embark on this project of rediscovery. The search in the book aligns with my essence as an artist: moved by the animal as a metaphor. In the past I have rarely painted wild animals, yet this new body of work highlights the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world, thus serving as the framework for a rendezvous between wilderness and sublimity, with works stemming from life’s diversity. I’ve tried to catch the essence of the animal and sublime aspects. It urges us to dig into our own archetypal animal,” said Brines.
Starsky Brines held his first solo exhibition in Venezuela in 2006, and has since had solo exhibitions in Spain, Columbia, and Germany. His unique artworks are included in various organizations such as China’s National Museum in Beijing, Acarigua Art Museum in Venezuela, Burger Collection in Hong Kong, and Sanders Collection in Germany and Switzerland.
Brines was raised in the small city of Maturin in Venezuela and earned a B.A degree in Painting at Higher Education Institute for Plastic Arts Armando Reveron in Caracas. His rich color and formation was developed while working as an assistant at the studio of Jesus Raphael Soto, a worldly known kinetic artist, and was also influenced by street artists.
Brines’ work illustrates the characteristics of graffiti and primitive art, which represent the conflicts of the society he was born into; Caribbean and Latin American culture being two prevalent forces in his hometown of Caracas. Brines is historically influenced by Latin American figurative art, the German Neoexpressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the COBRA group. Read more
