JEAN BLACKWELL FONT
May’s Artist in Residence at the InterContinental Miami
Warehouse 4726 has partnered with the InterContinental Miami Hotel to present Noche de Arte, a weekly happy hour event featuring an artist from the Bird Road Art District.
You are invited to join us Mondays in the lobby as locally acclaimed artists bring their works to life around the Hotel's famed Henry Moore "Spindle" sculpture.
This month, we are featuring Jean Blackwell Font.
Working in assemblage, mixed media, and collage, Jean never stops learning about art and her own artistic practice, learning from people she knows personally or from studying the lives, art, and work of those she admires. Influenced by artists Betty Saar, Doris Salcedo, and Joseph Cornell, the artist has developed a visual vocabulary to express her ideas and concepts.
Her artwork has garnered the attention of several important collectors in Miami and is now part of Florida International University Special Collections. To see samples of her work, visit warehouse4726.com/nochedearte
