Opening Reception: Energy, Chaos, & Transformation — With artist Carina Kemelmajer
About the event
Meet the artist of an exhibition that brings together a selection of contemporary abstract works that explore the visible and invisible forces shaping the human experience. Kemelmajer invites viewers to experience abstraction not only through what they see, but through what they feel. Each work becomes a space for personal interpretation, where individual memories and emotions can shape meaning. For more information, please contact the branch at 305-553-1134 or fuenteso@mdpls.org. All ages. Energy, Chaos & Transformation brings together a selection of contemporary abstract works by Carina Kemelmajer that explore the visible and invisible forces shaping the human experience. The exhibition unfolds as a journey. On the lower level, vibrant color, layered textures, gestural marks, and dynamic compositions create an immediate sense of movement and intensity. Lines intersect, forms collide, and color expands across the surface, suggesting moments when life feels unpredictable, accelerated, and in constant motion. Chaos, however, is not presented as disorder alone, but as a space of possibility—a place where change can begin. As the eye moves upward, the visual language shifts. Color gives way to a more restrained palette of black, white, and gray. Here, energy becomes quieter but no less present. Through contrast, texture, fragmented forms, and layered structures, these works explore the intangible forces that influence our lives: memory, perception, emotion, time, and the invisible boundaries that guide or challenge us. Across both levels, opposing forces continually meet: energy and stillness, structure and freedom, light and darkness, rupture and reconstruction. Rather than resolving these tensions, Kemelmajer allows them to coexist, reflecting transformation as an ongoing human process rather than a final destination. The exhibition invites viewers to experience abstraction not only through what they see, but through what they feel. Each work becomes a space for personal interpretation, where individual memories and emotions can shape meaning. Ultimately, Energy, Chaos & Transformation is a reflection on movement through uncertainty—and on our capacity to transform experience into awareness, resilience, and new possibilities.
