MIAMI, FLA.- This exhibition features works that are part of a series entitled First Apple. This series expresses the artist’s ideas about the origin of the world. To achieve this, the artist used the technique of pointillism, reinterpreted and applied over the volumetric representation of the island of Manhattan, considered by many the center of modern world.

Manhattan is also known as the Big Apple, fruit of discord associated with the creation of mankind through Adam and Eve.

Therefore, the artist chose to represent Michelangelo ́s "Tempation and Expulsion," one of his most famous panels from the Sistine chapel ceiling, and painted it over Manhattan, a vigorous, dynamic, powerful, changing and chaotic city, a modern paradise.

Ramon Espantaleon Gomez (Spain 1968), architect and interior designer with over 20 years of experience, is now a prolific ceramic artist whose exploration in the world of applied arts in the last decade it has earned recognition such as Expert in Ceramic Arts from the School Ceramics Francisco Alcantara of Madrid. His participations in several art exhibitions in Spain, Brussels, New York, Houston and Miami have been highlighted by local critics. His artistic work pursues an architectural geometry domain attached to the exploration of organic forms, activated by the rigorous use of colour and the importance of the shadows. Even though he continues to explore a variety of materials such as bronze, resin, wood, but porcelain is one of his preferences.

The exhibition is on view at the Frost Art Museum through January 10, 2016.
