David Bromstad, the original HGTV Design Star and host of HGTV’s “Color Splash,” will celebrate his first open-to-the-public art exhibition, “Body, Money, Death,” at the Z Ocean Hotel South Beach during Art Basel - a huge art show held annually in Miami Beach.
Bromstad's exhibit will be open 5-8 p.m., Dec. 2-3, during which the Z Ocean will be rebranded "The Bromstad,” with lobby and common areas designed by the HGTV star, who is based in Miami.
The exhibition will feature paintings, customized furniture and matroyshka dolls created by Bromstad.
“The inspiration for the paintings and furniture pieces in this exhibition are the three things that we worry about most in life – our body, money and death," he said in a statement. "The imagery here reflects on my own personal struggle with body and money issues, as well as mortality, throughout my life.”
“Everything in this show has my sense of humor and my style, but I also wanted to show another layer that viewers don’t always get to see on HGTV," he continued. "I want my fans, both old and new, to walk into this exhibition and smile and be entertained. And maybe giggle a bit."
Proceeds from art sold at the exhibition will benefit the Wynwood neighborhood's nonprofit Bakehouse Art Complex, which provides affordable studios, exhibition galleries and professional development opportunities.
