In conjunction with the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend on 30 Sep to 2 Oct, South Beach, in collaboration with Opera Gallery, presents Repose/Reimagined – Anthony James’ display of light and matter. The Repose/Reimagined features a Ferrari car sculpture – an ode to everyone’s long-awaited race car action.
 
Anthony James took the idea of “repose” – the state of eternal rest and tranquility and shaped it into a Ferrari body, casting it in copper, a material intentionally and energetically conductive. In its original incarnation, the Ferrari is an exemplary automotive specimen—the apex of power, form, function, and aesthetics. Yet, here it is memorialised in performative stillness—monumental memories of its own pasts. The sculpture, stripped of its speed and rhythm, is lying in heavenly serenity.

On the other side of the walkway, stands “Reimagined”. A combination of cutting-edge techniques and concepts of Euclidian geometry that Anthony James has created with his own visual language of light, prompting visitors to dive right into his world of infinite mirrored precision and futuristic paragons. They are ethereal, but casual, minimalist, yet intricate.

Anthony James Repose/Reimagined sculptures will be at South Beach Level 1 from now till Nov. Join us in an exploration of the ways the artist experiments with and sculpts the intangible, bringing light and matter together in a cosmic fusion of art, science and mathematics.
