Miguel Zapata established his reputation in the mid-eighties as one of Spain’s leading contemporary artists. Zapata’s work is characterized by his use of images from the Spanish and European Renaissance. Using Renaissance masterpieces and architectural elements, Zapata personifies them through manipulations and interventions. His work is often richly textured bas-relief that incorporates a large array of different media; silica mixed with varnish, plaster mold, rag, or metal plate. Included will be three works by Zapata inspired by Pensacola and the rich history of this region.The PMA exhibition will coincide with the celebration of Pensacola’s 450th anniversary. The PMA is collaborating with the UWF’s Archeology Institute, displaying a selection of local artifacts taken from Spanish shipwrecks and settlements in the Pensacola area. These artifacts will be exhibited together with the works by Miguel Zapata. The museum will host an opening reception celebrating Miguel Zapata: An Eternal Perspective on Thursday, April 30, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The opening will be attended by the artist Miguel Zapata himself, who will give an in-depth gallery talk with Curator Cheryl Vogel, a longtime colleague and friend of the artist’s. The exhibition will include a beautiful printed catalogue containing essays by Dr. Marcus Burke, Curator of the Hispanic Society of America, New York, and by Dr. Jay Clune, Associate Professor and Chair of the History Department at the University of West Florida.

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is a well known American Indian artist and activist who uses her art to examines current issues facing her people. Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Made in America is an exhibition of drawing, printmaking, painting, and mixed media installation that examines American Indian life in contrast to the consumerism of American society. Born in 1940 on the Flathead Reservation in Montana to Flathead Salish, French-Cree, and Shoshone parents, Quick-to-See Smith became an artist while in her 30s and was earning a living as a painter before she completed her master of fine arts degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. By the mid-1970s she had founded artists groups, curated exhibitions, and organized grassroots protests to express concern for the land and its native people. Over 35 years she has developed a distinctive modernist style in a variety of techniques and has received international critical acclaim through over 75 solo exhibitions and numerous international shows. Her politically loaded subject matter ranges from cowboys and Indians to reservation life and war, McDonalds, and consumerism."Everything in American is for sale including land, water, air, and elections," according to Quick-to-See Smith. That is why she includes money signs in her paintings as did Andy Warhol, but she adds other iconic forms such as ancient petroglyphs in her works to reflect both Western and Native cultures."Indian identify is at the center of her work, but her mode of expression is an appropriation of the boldness of Pop artists like Warhol and (Jasper) Johns," noted William Zimmer in a March 2001 article in The New York Times. (left: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Mother and Child, 1998, ink on paper monotype)Quick-to-See Smith has continued these influences in recent works, such as in her map paintings, borrowed from Johns with Pollock-like drips, the richly layered collaged painting Like a Tree and her 2002 painting of Tonto and the Lone Ranger, Duo, which pushed pop imagery to new heights. Through her art, she uses irony and humor to confront difficult issues, but eventually she opens the door for a hopeful outcome.
