Artist Talk: Khotan Fernandez

Artist Talk: Khotan Fernandez

This February, The Contemporary Art Modern Project is excited to welcome February with three new exhibitions running simultaneously from February 7–28, 2025. In Gallery B, On The Other Side brings together Khotan Fernandez and Seth Ellison. Together, they invite us into alternate dimensions outside of our own frame of reference, reimagining and reshaping familiar landscapes into surreal, personal, and boundless spaces.

Join us on Saturday, February 22nd in North Miami for an Artist Talk with Khotan Fernandez as he discusses his sculptural assemblages and alien landscapes. Through his work, Khotan reexamines the self in fragility often discarded by the masculine, creating assemblages that balance delicate ceramics with hardened iron rail screws—exploring the tension between vulnerability and strength.

The event will be taking place from 1 PM - 5 PM, with the talk commencing at 2:30 PM. We will be serving light refreshments and finger food.

ABOUT KHOTAN FERNANDEZ

(b. 1973, Mexican)

Khotan Fernandez uniquely portrays the experience of man, exploring – in the course of his mature approach of seeing, he has unflinchingly captured honest depictions of MIMO and the full array of human emotion. Khotan’s works are poetry, art, science, visual morsels all in one and are created to declare the truths of MIMO into every situation of our lives, a light to guide us through the desert.

Khotan also explores the human condition often through his animals, which can range from monkeys and gorillas to, flamingos and other residents of Florida’s wildlife – all the while drawing the viewer into an exploration of self. Fernandez does not just sketch and paint but also creates playful installations that continue his questioning of what it means to be part of the cosmos of this life.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)

The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.
