đŸŽ€ TODAY: Artist Talk with Gabriel Pozzo in conversation with Maritza M. Lacayo, Associate Curator, PAMM

⏰ 5pm (sharp)

đŸ“© RSVP: gallery(at)spinelloprojects.com
Space is limited for Gabriel Pozzo artist talk with Maritza M. Lacayo

As an American-born citizen who grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, Gabriel Pozzo depicts autobiographical scenes that explore the threshold and duality of his Venezuelan American identity. As a self-taught artist, he borrows from the heritage of Latin America’s ‘magic realism’ and, through it, paints his lived experiences.

The concepts of the foreign and the sublime serve as catalysts through which the work documents the artist’s past in Venezuela, explores his process of migration and speaks about integration into American life and culture while preserving & nurturing his roots from the Caribbean region.

The scene depicts the artist as a grocery store clerk, the job he took after the pandemic. It is in this environment where the artist begins to feel more comfortable in his new home. The process still feels surreal, a feeling highlighted by the colors and shapes present in the composition.

The subject holds a dismembered head, a clear reference to David and Goliath. Creatures abound throughout the composition, again highlighting the surreal nature of the process of adapting to a new country

đŸ—žïž[FAD Magazine] — ARMORY WEEK NEW YORK

“Spinello Projects showed an engaging series of works by the artistic duo Elliot and Erick JimĂ©nez, who are both twins and creative partners. Their exploration of Afro-Cuban mysticism through their photographs feels deeply surreal. These images feel beyond the reach of a photograph, in part because of their color choice; see The Cord Between Us, where the foreground sinks into the background through the use of contrast. Through the medium of printing on a photo rag, you see the colors seeping into the cotton weave. Their works play with dimensionality by including vintage found 19th-century glass eyes, haunting and ever-present; it reminds me of the eyes of the art world. After all was seen and heard in the Armory this fall, what was truly most exciting about the fair was the variety of work in New York this week and the knowledge that there is more to come.”

đŸ—žïž[Observer] The Armory Show’s Strongest Argument for Relevance Comes From Its Youngest Galleries

“Last year’s exhibition at PĂ©rez Art Museum Miami helped raise the visibility of Elliot and Erick JimĂ©nez’s work, with several pieces from What We Are Becoming selling on day one. Continuing their exploration of the syncretism that has shaped much of Caribbean identity, the two Cuban-born brothers repurpose found artifacts and symbols, giving visual form to the fluid hybridity through which communities have sought to preserve their own habits and rituals amid religious imposition and cultural erasure. Their figures, with facial features intentionally dissolving into darkness, become fluid, universal deities able to evoke a more archetypal spiritual presence and a desire for connection with the transcendental shared across cultures.”

đŸ—žïž [The Wall Street Journal] The Best Art at the Armory Show: Elliot & Erick JimĂ©nez at Spinello Projects

Most of the highlights of this year came in the show’s Focus section, which was organized by María Elena Ortiz of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and focuses on artists of
Caribbean descent.

— Written by Brian P. Kelly

“Spinello Projects showed the haunting mixed-media photographs of identical twins and first-generation Cuban-Americans Elliot and Erick JimĂ©nez, who draw on their religious upbringing and Lucumi spirituality, which flourished in the 19th century among enslaved people in Cuba.

Blending Yoruba, Catholic and mystical traditions, their photos feature jet-black subjects that blend into inky backgrounds, their eyes piercing the darkness as they stare at the viewer. These characters, representing mythical beings, are ornamented with fine drapery, ruff collars and jewelry.

One figure is cloaked in ghostly white, the fabric’s surface dotted with antique metal ex-votos, religious offerings made for divine protection. In the most eye-catching work, a chilling individual looms in front of a blurry forest, the portrait itself housed in the recess of a 19th-century French pulpit that is topped with candles and whose surface is encrusted with thorns.”

“Identical twins Elliot & Erick JimĂ©nez transformed Miami gallery Spinello Projects’ booth into a meditation on transformation with “What We Are Becoming,” their first major body of work since their debut solo museum show in 2025, “El Monte” at the PĂ©rez Art Museum Miami.

Raised in an Afro Cuban household in the U.S., the Miami-based artists debuted photographic works in reliquary-like frames, while the booth’s walls were draped in floor-length deep green drapes. In the booth’s title piece, What We Are Becoming (2026), an archival pigment print shows a shadowy figure with eyes glancing out mournfully. The image is studded with custom silk organza butterflies. Another work, BabalĂș-AyĂ© (2026), honors the orisha of healing and disease through a canvas print embedded with found antique metal ex-votos.”

photography duo, Elliot & Erick JimĂ©nez at The Armory Show—Focus Sector (Booth F1), curated by Maria Elena Ortiz

Elliot & Erick Jiménez are identical twin artists whose practice draws from photography, mixed media, sculpture, and installation to construct immersive worlds that explore memory, migration, spirituality, and the fluid nature of identity. Rooted in their experience as first-generation Cuban Americans and informed by Afro-Caribbean cosmologies, their work brings together Lucumí traditions, Western iconography, and art historical references to create a dialogue where inherited histories and contemporary experience converge.

This new body of work marks the artists’ first major series following El Monte, their debut solo museum exhibition at the PĂ©rez Art Museum Miami. Rather than departing from the questions that shaped that exhibition, these works represent a subtle evolution, one that shifts attention from the search for identity toward the continual process of transformation.

As first-generation Cuban Americans raised within an Afro-Cuban household, they have long grappled with the experience of belonging simultaneously to inherited and imagined homelands. While physically removed from the island, they continue to negotiate the traditions, stories, and spiritual lineages passed down. In this sense, these works inhabit an interior landscape—one that holds ancestry, memory, and identity in constant dialogue.

Across the series, the anonymous figures that have long occupied the JimĂ©nez brothers’ visual language begin to undergo subtle yet profound changes. Shadow bodies dissolve into flowers, others emerge in luminous white, or exist suspended between fire, the natural world, and ritual. Rather than functioning as fixed symbols, these figures inhabit states of becoming, resisting singular definitions and stable identities. Their transformation mirrors the layered realities of Caribbean culture itself, where histories of migration, syncretism, adaptation, and survival have continually reshaped notions of self and belonging.

McGriff describes his paintings as thought experiments-spontaneous portraits generated through gestural mark-making. He paints figures in states of negotiation and performance, often bargaining with the systems by which they are governed, and with themselves. McGriff explains, “My practice is about spontaneity and memory, focusing on the use of imagined portraiture and landscape to capture ideas and feelings associated with experiences that are universal but personal.”

McGriff’s work is held at the permanent collections of the PĂ©rez Art Museum Miami, Rubell Museum, ICA Miami, NSU Art Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, El Espacio 23: Collection of Jorge Perez, The Bunker Artspace: Collection of Beth Rudin DeWoody, The Knight Foundation, The Hort Family Collection, Green Family Art Foundation, Jasteka Foundation, and Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places.
