    Three new exhibits at CSMART

    FRI 12/3

    If you're upset that you missed the exhibit "Yuroz's Narrative
    Culture of Cubism" at the Coral Springs Museum of Art (2855 Coral
    Springs Dr., Coral Springs), you can stop fretting; the museum is
    extending the exhibit to coincide with the opening of three new
    exhibits to run through the winter season. The Armenian-born cubist
    does what many artists merely attempt to do when painting romantic
    scenes -- he re-creates the feeling, not just a two-dimensional
    representation of it. Even when Yuroz's subjects aren't touching --
    like the two lovers in Sweet Serenade -- the underlying sensuality is
    still present as they quietly embrace their own inner spirituality.

    Similarly tranquil, though of a less interpersonal nature, is Grace
    Dubow's "Simply Grace!" exhibit, which displays the artist's fondness
    for the great outdoors, as is evidenced in the watercolor Egrets and
    the Moon. The other featured Grace, Grace Fishenfeld, focuses more on
    concepts. The mixed-media collages in her exhibit "Moving Along
    Through Media and Ideas" show off Fishenfeld's background in graphic
    design. Finally, rounding out the winter exhibits is Felipe R.
    Luque's "Arte Decorativo," which features decorative steel pieces
    like Table #5, a cross between a Tim Burton stage prop and a Chinese
    calligraphic form. Too bad it's not for sale; it'd make a great
    conversation piece. The exhibits open Friday with a 6 p.m. reception
    and run through February. Call 954-340-5000. -- Jason Budjinski


    There's no form like no form


    THU 12/2

    If there's one thing young artists constantly hear from their
    parents, it's relentless badgering about getting a real job. But for
    Spanish-born artist Antoni Tapies, he tried the whole
    go-to-law-school-and-get-a-job thing, but he just wasn't feelin' it.
    So with the influence of Paul Klee and Joan Miró, Tapies emerged as a
    prominent figure in Spain's post-World War II art scene, lending
    credence to the use of informal objects in his mixed-media
    abstractions. His works from the late '50s are a formalist's worst
    nightmare; the kind of symbolic expressionism nonartisans shake their
    heads at. That's art? Why, yes it is, Billy Bob. An exhibit of
    Tapies' lithographs is on display now through December 18 at the
    Armory Art Center (1700 Parker Ave., West Palm Beach). Call
    561-832-1776. -- Jason Budjinski
