Acclaimed Hungarian Sculptor Agnès Nagy will make her Miami debut this fall
during Miami Art Week with her exhibition “Soulmates” at Platform, a concept
gallery in Miami Beach, in collaboration with JB Contemporary Art.
Vernissage takes place on Thursday, Dec. 2, from 6 to 10 p.m. Nagy creates
impressive, realistic animal sculptures that give voice to the soul of her wild
subjects.
Nagy’s sculptures provide an evocative, powerful representation of wildlife,
ranging from fierce hunters like lions and jaguars, to domesticated animals such
as bulls and horses, to sea creatures and insects including the spiny lobster and
stag beetle. Her work embodies the soulmate-like bonds between humans and
animals. While their exteriors are hard, each piece expresses a joyful display of
movement and exudes strength, play and freedom. Each sculpture carries a
symbolic message and viscerally interprets the human-animal connection.
“Miami is an exciting place to share my love of animals and nature with like-
minded art enthusiasts and collectors,” Nagy said. “I am thrilled to be back in
South Florida after a successful exhibition at Art Palm Beach in early 2020.
Platform by Sogol Décor is a Salon-Style Art and Design Hub located in the
SoFi neighborhood of Miami Beach. It is a unique gallery giving creatives,
industry professionals and art connoisseurs a place to connect and collaborate.
The sculptures in the “Soulmates” exhibition range from $4,500 for smaller
pieces, up to $35,000 for large sculptures.
This exhibition is working closely with the South Florida SPCA as their charitable
partner, which includes an interactive and educational experience for children
and families taking place on Sunday, Dec. 5, from noon to 3 p.m., and will
include an animal adoption opportunity.
“I didn’t choose animals — they were the ones who found me and refuse to let
me go,” Nagy said. “I am grateful that I am able to share my work in Miami
though a collaboration that supports the South Florida SPCA, a cause that is
dear to my heart.”
Nagy will be present for the exhibition opening on Dec. 2, and for private
viewings through Dec. 5. The exhibition will run through Feb. 28, 2022, and can
be seen by request. Call 301-254-5907 to make an appointment, or send email
