Cheryl Maeder "Snapshot of the Sea" & "Haiku" at ArtPalmBeach 2013

This coming Friday January 25th, 2013, ArtPalmBeach will inaugurate its 16th edition with the most important contemporary art fair on Florida's Gold Coast showcasing art, photography and design at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

More than 89 galleries will be taking part in ArtPalmBeach this year.

A returning gallery, the Paris/NYC-based Mark Hachem Gallery- which has been consistent participating in ArtPalmBeach since 2007- will be exhibiting the works (Booth 114) by West Palm Beach-based photographer Cheryl Mader among other artists such as Nacer, Pollés, Corda, Anne-de-Villemejane, Gestin, Mika, Arnaud, Porras, Calvet and Perez-Flores.

During Art Basel Week, the gallery showcased Maeder's works at SCOPE Art Fair 2012.

Part color field painter, part impressionist and part abstractionist, Maeder conveys to the viewer a different notion of the world we observe with our own eyes especially when we focus and bring forward another level perception just as looking at her photographs.

Maeder has been transitioning into photographing the beauty of the human form inspired by the Impressionists into short films which the artist will also exhibit along her photographs.

"Being a visual artist for 25 years and always working to break through stereotypes, it was natural that in 2011, I began shooting motion," said Maeder of her short films Snapshot of the Sea and Haiku.

"Snapshot of the Sea" was shot in Key West, Florida and Haiku- from Maeder's Dreamscapes series- was photographed in Santa Monica, California.

"Haiku is my poem to the Universe," added Maeder.
