Duval Square’s Jag Gallery announces its first exhibit of the new year welcoming two widely recognized  and respected Key West artists Tory Mata and Carole Faye each with impressive collections of new work.  

Working primarily in ceramic, paper and natural materials, award winning Tory Mata’s practice is rooted in quiet observations and repetition.  New and recent work drawing from the visual language of landscape but without direct representation, distilling place into texture rhythm and form incorporating clay, wild grasses, handmade paper and other elemental materials to magical effect.

Carole Faye is a self described scavenger and regardless of where she has lived; New York City,  Shanghai or Key West her adventures in foraging have led to expressive creations of found objects and mesmerizing and evocative mixed media paintings inspired by the local landscape and its inhabitants incorporating oil paints and fragments of local quotidien marketing materials.

Join us for the opening of FROM HER STUDIO and celebrate Jag’s sixth year at a gallery reception on Wednesday  January 7th from 3:30 - 7:30.   The exhibit continues through January 25th.   Gallery events are free and all are welcome.

A New Season Opens at Jag Gallery

There are no rules as Duval Square’s Jag Gallery announces the opening of another season of distinctive exhibits with IN AND OUTSIDE THE LINES featuring new work from Key West’s Billy Kearins and Pennsylvania based artist Joey Tepedino.

The gallery welcomes Billy Kearins, this year’s Studios of Key West Mango Madness People's Choice Award Winner, for his Jag Gallery debut bringing decades of design expertise to a new level and medium with abstract paintings on wood, personal expressions, reflecting his continued experimentation of form and technique, more often visually organized in color and subject and with a common thread…a simple orange circle, sometimes incorporated with discretion sometimes bold and central.

Joey Tepedino, a proven gallery favorite from 2024 returns after a year of praise following exhibits in his native Pennsylvania and at the legendary Hal Bromm gallery in New York’s Tribeca.  Tepedino is a part time comic which is clearly evident in his mixed media paintings; loud, vibrant in color, somewhat unfiltered…Joey’s work might be best described as “contained chaos” often incorporating words or phrases as evocative and humorous as his titles.

IN AND OUTSIDE THE LINES opens with a gallery reception on Saturday October 4th from 5:30 -7:30 and continues through October 26th.  Gallery events are free and all are welcome.  For additional information contact the gallery at [email protected] or 305.407.6202.
