Each brushstroke echoes with a sense of immediacy, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the whirlwind of emotions evoked by Lacayo’s exuberant compositions.
In striking contrast, the second series unveils Lacayo’s mastery of control within abstraction. Here, the artist deftly navigates a realm of calculated brushstrokes while preserving the hallmark elements of abstract expressionism.

Art In Layers: The Americas Collection Graphics

“Art in Layers” is an exhibition dedicated to showcasing the beauty and artistic value of prints, featuring The Americas Collection’s Limited-edition serigraphs. This exhibition aims to highlight the legitimacy of serigraphy as an art form, emphasizing that its purpose of creating multiple originals.
Serigraphy, also known as screen printing, has been embraced by numerous renowned artists throughout history, solidifying its place in fine art. This technique involves pushing ink through a stencil on a screen, allowing artists to create vibrant and precise prints. Serigraphy is a distinct and expressive art form in its own right. The technique allows for a unique interplay of color, texture, and layering that can produce stunning visual effects. It became prevalent in the 20th century as a method for producing multiples, enabling artists to reach wider audiences without compromising the quality or integrity of their work.
Artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Shepard Fairey utilized serigraphy to produce some of their most iconic works. Warhol’s famous Campbell’s Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe series, Lichtenstein’s comic strip-inspired pieces, Rauschenberg’s mixed media prints, Johns’ American flag and target series, and Fairey’s politically charged posters all showcase the power and impact of serigraphy in the art world.
As you explore the exhibition, we invite you to appreciate the rich history and artistic innovation that serigraphy embodies. These prints are more than reproductions; they are original works of art that capture the essence of the artists’ creative processes. We hope that “Art in Layers: The Americas Collection Graphics” inspires a deeper understanding and appreciation for this remarkable medium.

Spring Awakens
2025-05-02 - 2025-07-15 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
With the arrival of spring comes an invitation to begin again. At The Americas Collection Art Gallery, this season is welcomed with the group exhibition Spring Awakens, a vibrant celebration of transformation, light, and the subtle energy that stirs both the earth and the creative spirit.
This exhibition brings together an eclectic group of artists whose works mirror the layered essence of spring. As the world outside shifts—trees bloom, colors return, and light lingers longer—so does the gallery transform into a space filled with movement, color, and quiet revelation. Spring Awakens captures not just the season’s outward symbols but its emotional undertones: anticipation, reflection, hope, and discovery.
Rather than a literal interpretation of spring, the show presents a poetic exploration of what it means to awaken, individually and collectively. The selected works range from serene compositions to tactile, expressive pieces, from minimalist meditations to bold abstractions, each offering a different interpretation of growth and renewal. As visitors move through the exhibition, they are invited to experience spring as a state of mind—fluid, transitional, and full of potential.
The installation is designed as a visual and emotional journey, with textures and palettes evolving from soft neutrals and delicate tones to more dynamic contrasts and vibrant hues. This rhythm echoes the natural emergence of spring: subtle at first, then undeniably alive.
Among the artists featured in Spring Awakens are Alberto Ocon, Ramiro Lacayo Deshon, Liv Dockerty, Karine Boulanger, Gabriel Gonzalez, Ricardo Gonzalez Palacios I, Melissa Matamoros, Paul Hunter, Connie Lloveras, Linda Kohen, Lorenza Panero, and Tomas Carranza. Each artist contributes a unique visual language that resonates with the exhibition’s core themes, whether through abstraction, narrative, material experimentation, or contemplative imagery.
Liv Dockerty’s atmospheric paintings lend a sense of quiet emergence, while Ricardo Gonzalez Palacios I offers energetic works rooted in myth and ritual. Melissa Matamoros uses natural textures and tones to speak to cycles of decay and growth, and Paul Hunter’s geometric precision reflects the invisible structures behind natuare’s organic forms. Connie Lloveras brings warmth and symbolism through ceramic works that feel both sacred and grounded. The introspective work of Linda Kohen, especially poignant as she marks 100 years of life and creativity, adds a timeless depth to the exhibition’s theme.
In presenting Spring Awakens, The Americas Collection Art Gallery invites viewers to slow down, engage their senses, and reflect on what is unfolding around and within them. Spring is not just a backdrop—it is a metaphor for possibility. This show is a gentle call to open up, to begin again, and to find beauty in the process of becoming.
Spring Awakens will be on view from March through May 2025. Join us in celebrating this season of renewal through a collection of works that remind us that growth often begins in stillness—and that beauty, like spring, is always waiting to emerge.

Summer Spectacular
2025-08-01 10:00 - 2025-08-25 18:00 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Summer Spectacular celebrates the brilliance, warmth, and vibrancy of the season. This exhibition brings together artists from across the Americas whose works embrace light, color, and movement—mirroring the energy and expansiveness of summer itself.
Where spring whispers renewal, summer roars with vitality. The canvases, sculptures, and mixed media works presented here pulse with saturated hues, bold gestures, and an openness to experimentation. Some pieces recall sun-drenched landscapes and shimmering horizons, while others capture the spirit of celebration, play, and human connection that summer inspires.
The exhibition is not only a feast for the eyes but also a meditation on abundance—the abundance of light, of emotion, of creativity. Through diverse artistic voices, Summer Spectacular reminds us of the power of art to reflect joy, intensity, and the fleeting beauty of moments lived in fullness.
We invite viewers to step into this radiant season, to feel the warmth in every brushstroke, and to carry the spirit of summer into their own lives.

Textures in Time
2025-09-05 - 2025-10-31 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Life is not made of straight lines, but of layers and overlapping planes—like painting, like memory, like time. Tomás Carranza (El Salvador, 1974) also understands this, as evident in his most recent artistic exploration, Textures in Time. This exhibition not only extends the reflection initiated in his 2023 show The Threads of Time but also expands his language into a symphony of materials, memories, and emotions.
Every material in Carranza’s work has its voice. Gold, silver, pigments, threads—all contribute to this visual symphony with their tone. The metallic sheets reflect a light that is not only physical but also symbolic. They evoke value, legacy, and mystery. In contrast, the textiles return us to the tactile, to the origin, to the warmth of the skin. Within this dialogue between the ethereal and the earthly lies the true heart of the show: a visual meditation on the many layers of existence, where his small paper boats and airplanes travel—a recurring element in his work. They glide across the canvases as emblems of longing, nostalgia, and search, floating among masses of color and fields of light. Letting themselves be carried by the invisible currents of existence, much like we do through our own lives.
In this exhibition, however, these symbols do not sail alone, as textiles return both as medium and message. Carranza immerses himself in the traditions of Central American weaving, utilizing techniques such as tufting and punch needlework to create works that speak to the history of Central American art through their connection to looms.
Textures in Time is not just an exhibition. It is a journey. A space where the visual becomes experiential, where color and material invite us to reconsider our life path. As viewers, we see ourselves reflected in those landscapes without a horizon, in those surfaces that remind us that life, like art, is always an unfinished process. Like a loom that never stops, Carranza once again weaves memory, craft, and vision into these works.

Remix 2025
2025-11-07 - 2026-01-24 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Remix 2025
The Americas Collection Art Gallery is proud to announce Remix 2025, the newest edition of our annual exhibition that has become a tradition of celebrating the creative voices of our represented artists. Since its inception, Remix has offered audiences an opportunity to experience the gallery’s vision in a dynamic format, bringing together works that span generations, geographies, and mediums. Each year, the exhibition reinvents itself—placing contemporary works in dialogue with established practices and inviting viewers to reconsider the evolving story of Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. art.
Remix 2025 builds on this legacy with an ambitious presentation of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces that reflect the gallery’s commitment to cultural richness and artistic innovation. The exhibition emphasizes the ways in which artists engage with themes of identity, history, materiality, and spirituality, while also experimenting with form, geometry, and abstraction. Some works resonate with ancestral traditions and indigenous symbology, others embrace cutting-edge visual languages inspired by science, technology, or urban experience. Together, they reveal the extraordinary diversity that defines the Americas’ contemporary artistic landscape.
Beyond a simple collection of artworks, Remix 2025 is conceived as a conversation—between artists and audiences, between past and present, between the local and the global. Visitors will encounter juxtapositions that highlight unexpected connections: a sculptural form echoing pre-Hispanic cosmology shown alongside a painting that reimagines modern cityscapes; bold experiments with color and geometry in dialogue with delicate meditations on memory and time. These encounters generate new readings and expand the understanding of what contemporary art from the Americas can be.
As with each annual edition, Remix 2025 affirms The Americas Collection’s mission to provide a platform where established masters and emerging voices can coexist, enriching one another and inspiring our community. By revisiting the past while looking to the future, this exhibition underscores the vitality of cultural exchange and the power of art to reframe how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Hues of Desire
2026-02-06 18:00 - 22:00 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Hues of Desire is an exploration of longing as both emotion and experience—felt, imagined, and expressed through color and form. Across the exhibition, desire unfolds not as a single sensation, but as a shifting spectrum shaped by memory, intuition, and perception.
The works on view approach color as an emotional language, where subtle tones and bold gestures reveal the many ways passion, aspiration, and intimacy surface within the human experience. Moving between intensity and restraint, Hues of Desire invites viewers to linger in moments of attraction, tension, and quiet yearning.
What emerges is a meditation on desire’s fluid nature—ever-changing, deeply personal, and impossible to define by one hue alone.

Beyond the Surface: From Reality to Dream
2026-03-06 - 2026-03-27 | The Americas Collection, 4213 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Beyond the Surface: From Reality to Dream examines the shifting boundaries between observation, imagination, and illusion. Moving between Realism, Surrealism, and Photorealism, the exhibition explores how artists redefine what we consider “real.”
From intimate portrayals of everyday life to dreamlike distortions of the subconscious and hyper-precise painted illusions that rival photography, the works on view challenge perception at every turn. What appears familiar becomes uncanny. What feels imagined becomes tangible.
By juxtaposing grounded representation with surreal narrative and technical virtuosity, the exhibition invites viewers to look closer — to question whether what they see is documentation, invention, or something suspended between the two.
Across generations and approaches, Beyond the Surface reveals that reality is never singular. It is interpreted, constructed, and transformed through the artist’s lens.
