Comprised of over 30 large scale works, Evolve emphasizes the importance of wildlife conservation and sustainability, while showcasing art’s innate ability to drive conversation and motivate change. A nod to the collection itself, the exhibition will be held at one of Miami’s most sought-after oceanfront resorts and feature the pair’s most well-known photographs from their global expeditions.
“Evolve eloquently pairs our parallel journeys as artists, witnesses, and passionate defenders of the natural world,” says Cristina Mittermeier, co-founder of internationally acclaimed non-profit, SeaLegacy. “We know that art has the power to surprise and engage us. Paul and I use art to inspire people to engage in one of the most important conversations of our lifetime – the quest to better understand the ocean’s power to protect people, iconic creatures, and our entire planet. Together, we have curated our boldest exhibition yet, and we can’t think of a better place to share it than in Miami.” Photo Courtesy of Cristina Mittermeier, Heavenly Virtuous and Miracle (2013, Hawaii)
