His art reimagines nostalgic symbols of Americana through a modern lens, often using humor and irony to delve into themes of identity, consumerism, and societal change. Umbach’s latest pieces debuting at Art Miami promise to ignite conversations with their electric palette and layered storytelling, reaffirming his reputation as a provocateur and innovator in the art world.
- Bjørn Skaarup: Internationally celebrated for his monumental bronze sculptures, Skaarup’s work bridges classical artistic techniques with whimsical storytelling. Drawing inspiration from mythology, history, and pop culture, he brings his subjects to life with elegance and charm. His iconic Hippo Ballerina series will be on display alongside sculptures from his enchanting circus installation, featuring the Raccoon Boxer, Rhino Banjo Player, and Bear Roller Skater. These playful yet intricate pieces showcase Skaarup’s skill in crafting characters that feel both majestic and endearing, inviting viewers into his imaginative world.
