SUMMARY:Deering Estate AT Program – Hyphenated Encounters by Lilian Garcia-Roig
DESCRIPTION:Deering Estate in partnership with The Frank C. Otis Art Gallery presents Hyphenated Encounters by Lilian Garcia-Roig, curated by Sophie Bonet and Liliam Dominguez. This two-part exhibition will open with a reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, at The Frank C. Otis Art Gallery, and will remain on view through January 17, 2027.\nHyphenated Encounters offers an expansive look at the work of Cuban American artist Lilian Garcia-Roig, bringing together a career-spanning survey of her artistic practice with a focused presentation of work created during her 2024 Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence residency. Together, these complementary exhibitions offer the most comprehensive presentation of Garcia-Roig’s work to date, pairing a career-spanning survey with an intimate look at the artist’s site-responsive practice through her 2024 Deering Estate residency. Presented across two distinct but interconnected curatorial projects, Lilian Garcia-Roig: A Practice of Place, curated by Sophie Bonet, Chief Curator of The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery, traces more than three decades of Garcia-Roig’s evolving relationship to place through paintings and mixed-media works. Deering Estate Residency: Lilian Garcia-Roig, Site, and the Labor of Belonging, curated by Liliam Dominguez, Head Curator of Deering Estate, centers on work developed during the artist’s 2024 residency, highlighting her site-responsive approach to painting through new works and an accompanying short film by fellow Artist-in-Residence Jorge Gonzalez Graupera.\nLilian Garcia-Roig: A Practice of Place\nSpanning more than three decades of artistic practice, Lilian Garcia-Roig: A Practice of Place brings together a selection of paintings and mixed-media works by Cuban American artist Lilian Garcia-Roig. The exhibition traces the evolution of her sustained engagement with landscape, revealing how close observation, material experimentation, and lived experience have shaped a practice rooted in place.\nFrom the subtropical environments of South Florida to the limestone valleys of Cuba, Garcia-Roig’s work invites viewers to experience landscape as something inhabited rather than simply observed. A recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, Garcia-Roig is recognized as one of the leading voices in contemporary landscape painting. Together, the works on view offer a compelling survey of an artistic practice that continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to the environments that inspire it.\nCurated by Sophie Bonet, Chief Curator, The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery\nDeering Estate Residency: Lilian Garcia-Roig, Site, and the Labor of Belonging\nPart of the Deering Estate AT program, this exhibition features Lilian Garcia-Roig, who is widely recognized as an on-site painter, though the term only begins to describe her practice. Rather than painting a landscape from a distance, Garcia-Roig paints directly with it, treating each location as a living field of negotiation between memory, perception, and presence. Over time, the tropical landscape has become essential to her visual language. Florida’s banyans, mangroves, sabal palms, and strangler figs offer a natural vocabulary that speaks to her Cuban heritage, one built on entanglement rather than hierarchy, and on lateral growth and survival rather than singular dominance.\nDuring her 2024 residency at the Deering Estate, Garcia-Roig immersed herself in the property’s own tangled terrain, working directly on-site. The resulting body of work reflects a sustained, site-specific engagement, continuing her long practice of letting the landscape shape the painting rather than the other way around. Complementing Garcia Roig’s work, an exclusive short film created by fellow Artist-in-Residence Jorge Gonzalez Graupera deepens the viewer’s connection to these themes.\nCurated by Liliam Dominguez, Head Curator, Deering Estate\nExhibition Dates: Sept. 17, 2026 – Jan. 17, 2027\nOpening Reception: Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, 6-9 p.m.\nLocation: The Frank C. Otis Art Gallery, 601 City Center Way, Pembroke Pines, FL 33025\nFree & open to the public.\nAbout the Deering Estate AT Program\nThe Deering Estate AT program consists of a joint venture with other cultural institutions to showcase Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence (AIRs) outside the Estate. It aims to enhance each institution’s reach and resources to achieve a common goal: expanding the artists’ cultural reach by making diverse artistic expressions accessible to a broader audience. The program fosters creative synergy and community connections through art exhibitions, cultural performances, and dynamic programming. The Deering Estate AT program exemplifies the Estate’s commitment to supporting current and past AIRs and elevating their practice at every stage of their careers while honoring the spirit of innovation and discovery that the Deering Estate inspires and underscoring the importance of alliances that bridge institutional boundaries.\nCultural Arts Programming at the Deering Estate is made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and The Deering Estate Foundation, Inc. \nAbout The Frank C.
