Vik Muniz Art
Brazilian, b. 1961
Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist currently working out of New York.
Muniz is well known for his broad range of experimental works. While he started his career as a sculptor, his practice today is almost entirely photo-based — creating works but then photographing them.
Muniz’s interest in human visual understanding is the running theme behind the majority of his work, of which a photograph called Key, from Earthworks is a perfect example. The "Earthworks" series also includes images of electrical outlets, tobacco pipes, footprints, scissors, dice, paper airplanes, envelopes, and coat hangers. The juxtaposition of intimate, inanimate objects and the living, changing landscape renders this photographic series truly striking.
Muniz's innovative and shifting methods of visual communication are what constantly earn him recognition and admiration internationally. He frequently destabilizes the conventions of the art history canon by revisiting or appropriating conventions and icons but realizing them in unconventional materials and creative strategies.
Muniz's work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art to name a few.

Vik Muniz — Haystack, After Monet #3 (from Pictures of Color)
Vik Muniz’s Pictures of Color series stands at a pivotal moment in the evolution of visual culture. Conceived for the Venice Biennale, the series responds to the year when digital cameras first outsold film cameras worldwide, a symbolic tipping point in how images are made, shared, and believed. While exploring Venice’s long tradition of mosaic art, Muniz recognized a striking parallel between ancient mosaics and the emerging digital pixel: both construct images from countless discrete units, inviting viewers to experience perception as an assembly of parts.
In Pictures of Color, Muniz replaces the pixel with a tactile, analog counterpart: Pantone color chips. Each work is composed of thousands of hand-placed squares, arranged with meticulous precision to form images that appear crisp and cohesive at a distance. As the viewer approaches, the illusion dissolves into grids of pure color. This oscillation between clarity and fragmentation, between image and code, lies at the heart of the series. Muniz reveals the mechanics behind seeing in the digital age, prompting the viewer to consider how images are built, translated, and trusted.
Within this broader project, Muniz created a subseries dedicated to reinterpreting Monet’s iconic haystacks. Monet’s original paintings...

ABOUT
After 30 years of only exhibiting fine art photography, the Robin Rice Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition featuring a selection of her gallery photographers and three visual artists new to the space: Erica Hauser, and Matt Kinney. The selected works of these well-established Beacon, NY artists blend with the gallery’s fine art photography. Upon entering the gallery, viewers will encounter figurative sculptures, abstract paintings, and ink wash drawings alongside fine art photography. Since Robin Rice’s move to Beacon, NY, this concept developed organically; the group exhibition is a fusion of artistic mediums inspired by chance encounters between Rice and friends at art events in Beacon. After spending time with creatives who've spent lockdown in studios, Rice carefully chose works most apropos with her edited inventory of framed photography. Through these chance encounters Rice found inspiration to create this exhibition unlike anything seen before at the gallery and curated an immersive experience.
Maintaining her expert aesthetic, Rice has brought together a mosaic of mediums that seamlessly fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Kinney's collection of ink wash paintings in Japanese Sumi ink and watercolor paintings on hand-torn paper render fleeting glimpses of figures and animals as well as primal symbols. Tasmania Spiral is a hypnotic work that resembles a gyre. Also in focus is Hauser’s collection of abstract paintings featuring an alluring vintage color palette...
