Vickie Marsango's "Essence of the Unseen" solo painting exhibition explores the power of Abstract Expressionism to transform the intangible into the tangible, giving form to the invisible currents of human emotion, thought, and spirit. Through bold mark-making, dynamic brushwork, vibrant color, and layered depth, this curated collection captures the raw, unspoken truths that reside beyond the physical world. Each piece serves as a conduit, distilling fleeting feelings and hidden energies into vivid visual experiences that resonate on a visceral level. The theme celebrates the act of creation as a revelation, where gestural strokes and chromatic intensity bridge the gap between the surface in a shared sensory dialogue. The gallery space, with its stark lighting and open arrangement, amplifies the immediacy of the works, allowing their emotional weight and expressive power to speak directly, making the unseen not only visible but profoundly felt.

Encounter the Complexities of Human Relationships, Memory and Identity, in Double Portraits, A Layered and Multifaceted Portrait of the American South Discover the diverse ways artists depict human connection, presence, and absence within a shared frame, at Double Portraits, an original photography exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) October 25, 2025, through January 11, 2026. This exhibition features 47 photographs by 34 artists, each capturing the rich and ever-evolving American South through the concept of a “double portrait.” The exhibition was curated by VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art, with photographs on loan from the Collection of the Do Good Fund, Columbus, Georgia. “In a time when countless images flood our screens each day, Double Portraits invites viewers to slow down and consider what photography can reveal when created with intention and a distinct point of view,” shares VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell. “The exhibition features portraits of individuals from the Florida Everglades to Mississippi highways to Atlanta suburbs—taken by artists ranging from emerging talents to Guggenheim fellows.” Divided into four thematic sections, the works demonstrate the many ways photography captures the complexities of human relationships, memory, and identity—offering a layered and multifaceted portrait of the American South. The first section explores traditional portraiture, showcasing photographs like Rineke Dijkstra’s, in which subjects are centrally framed, fully visible, and clearly identifiable as individuals. From here, the exhibition transitions to artists who incorporate vernacular photographic styles, often embracing a “snapshot aesthetic” to depict two people together in often casual or spontaneous moments. This approach highlights photography’s power to convey intimacy and emotional resonance. The third section explores the themes of connection and care. A portrait featuring two people naturally suggests a story, as the viewer instinctively looks for meaning in their interaction. Even without knowing the subjects, subtle details—like a glance or a touch—convey a shared moment, offering deeper insight into the image’s significance. The final section redefines the concept of the double portrait by showcasing unconventional examples. Figures may be reflected in mirrors, seen in photographs that appear within other photographs, or represented through fragmented or partially obscured depictions. These images challenge traditional portraiture, emphasizing presence through suggestion rather than direct depiction.

Vickie Marsango's "Essence of the Unseen" solo painting exhibition explores the power of Abstract Expressionism to transform the intangible into the tangible, giving form to the invisible currents of human emotion, thought, and spirit. Through bold mark-making, dynamic brushwork, vibrant color, and layered depth, this curated collection captures the raw, unspoken truths that reside beyond the physical world. Each piece serves as a conduit, distilling fleeting feelings and hidden energies into vivid visual experiences that resonate on a visceral level. The theme celebrates the act of creation as a revelation, where gestural strokes and chromatic intensity bridge the gap between the surface in a shared sensory dialogue. The gallery space, with its stark lighting and open arrangement, amplifies the immediacy of the works, allowing their emotional weight and expressive power to speak directly, making the unseen not only visible but profoundly felt.

Encounter the Complexities of Human Relationships, Memory and Identity, in Double Portraits, A Layered and Multifaceted Portrait of the American South Discover the diverse ways artists depict human connection, presence, and absence within a shared frame, at Double Portraits, an original photography exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) October 25, 2025, through January 11, 2026. This exhibition features 47 photographs by 34 artists, each capturing the rich and ever-evolving American South through the concept of a “double portrait.” The exhibition was curated by VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art, with photographs on loan from the Collection of the Do Good Fund, Columbus, Georgia. “In a time when countless images flood our screens each day, Double Portraits invites viewers to slow down and consider what photography can reveal when created with intention and a distinct point of view,” shares VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell. “The exhibition features portraits of individuals from the Florida Everglades to Mississippi highways to Atlanta suburbs—taken by artists ranging from emerging talents to Guggenheim fellows.” Divided into four thematic sections, the works demonstrate the many ways photography captures the complexities of human relationships, memory, and identity—offering a layered and multifaceted portrait of the American South. The first section explores traditional portraiture, showcasing photographs like Rineke Dijkstra’s, in which subjects are centrally framed, fully visible, and clearly identifiable as individuals. From here, the exhibition transitions to artists who incorporate vernacular photographic styles, often embracing a “snapshot aesthetic” to depict two people together in often casual or spontaneous moments. This approach highlights photography’s power to convey intimacy and emotional resonance. The third section explores the themes of connection and care. A portrait featuring two people naturally suggests a story, as the viewer instinctively looks for meaning in their interaction. Even without knowing the subjects, subtle details—like a glance or a touch—convey a shared moment, offering deeper insight into the image’s significance. The final section redefines the concept of the double portrait by showcasing unconventional examples. Figures may be reflected in mirrors, seen in photographs that appear within other photographs, or represented through fragmented or partially obscured depictions. These images challenge traditional portraiture, emphasizing presence through suggestion rather than direct depiction.

Encounter the Complexities of Human Relationships, Memory and Identity, in Double Portraits, A Layered and Multifaceted Portrait of the American South Discover the diverse ways artists depict human connection, presence, and absence within a shared frame, at Double Portraits, an original photography exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) October 25, 2025, through January 11, 2026. This exhibition features 47 photographs by 34 artists, each capturing the rich and ever-evolving American South through the concept of a “double portrait.” The exhibition was curated by VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art, with photographs on loan from the Collection of the Do Good Fund, Columbus, Georgia. “In a time when countless images flood our screens each day, Double Portraits invites viewers to slow down and consider what photography can reveal when created with intention and a distinct point of view,” shares VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell. “The exhibition features portraits of individuals from the Florida Everglades to Mississippi highways to Atlanta suburbs—taken by artists ranging from emerging talents to Guggenheim fellows.” Divided into four thematic sections, the works demonstrate the many ways photography captures the complexities of human relationships, memory, and identity—offering a layered and multifaceted portrait of the American South. The first section explores traditional portraiture, showcasing photographs like Rineke Dijkstra’s, in which subjects are centrally framed, fully visible, and clearly identifiable as individuals. From here, the exhibition transitions to artists who incorporate vernacular photographic styles, often embracing a “snapshot aesthetic” to depict two people together in often casual or spontaneous moments. This approach highlights photography’s power to convey intimacy and emotional resonance. The third section explores the themes of connection and care. A portrait featuring two people naturally suggests a story, as the viewer instinctively looks for meaning in their interaction. Even without knowing the subjects, subtle details—like a glance or a touch—convey a shared moment, offering deeper insight into the image’s significance. The final section redefines the concept of the double portrait by showcasing unconventional examples. Figures may be reflected in mirrors, seen in photographs that appear within other photographs, or represented through fragmented or partially obscured depictions. These images challenge traditional portraiture, emphasizing presence through suggestion rather than direct depiction.

Encounter the Complexities of Human Relationships, Memory and Identity, in Double Portraits, A Layered and Multifaceted Portrait of the American South Discover the diverse ways artists depict human connection, presence, and absence within a shared frame, at Double Portraits, an original photography exhibition on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) October 25, 2025, through January 11, 2026. This exhibition features 47 photographs by 34 artists, each capturing the rich and ever-evolving American South through the concept of a “double portrait.” The exhibition was curated by VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art, with photographs on loan from the Collection of the Do Good Fund, Columbus, Georgia. “In a time when countless images flood our screens each day, Double Portraits invites viewers to slow down and consider what photography can reveal when created with intention and a distinct point of view,” shares VBMA Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell. “The exhibition features portraits of individuals from the Florida Everglades to Mississippi highways to Atlanta suburbs—taken by artists ranging from emerging talents to Guggenheim fellows.” Divided into four thematic sections, the works demonstrate the many ways photography captures the complexities of human relationships, memory, and identity—offering a layered and multifaceted portrait of the American South. The first section explores traditional portraiture, showcasing photographs like Rineke Dijkstra’s, in which subjects are centrally framed, fully visible, and clearly identifiable as individuals. From here, the exhibition transitions to artists who incorporate vernacular photographic styles, often embracing a “snapshot aesthetic” to depict two people together in often casual or spontaneous moments. This approach highlights photography’s power to convey intimacy and emotional resonance. The third section explores the themes of connection and care. A portrait featuring two people naturally suggests a story, as the viewer instinctively looks for meaning in their interaction. Even without knowing the subjects, subtle details—like a glance or a touch—convey a shared moment, offering deeper insight into the image’s significance. The final section redefines the concept of the double portrait by showcasing unconventional examples. Figures may be reflected in mirrors, seen in photographs that appear within other photographs, or represented through fragmented or partially obscured depictions. These images challenge traditional portraiture, emphasizing presence through suggestion rather than direct depiction. Double Portraits was curated by Chief Curator Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art, with photographs on loan from the Collection of the Do Good Fund.   Contact: Visitor Services Email: [email protected] Phone: (772) 231-0707 More Info: https://www.vbmuseum.org/double-portraits/ Location: Vero Beach Museum of Art 3001 Riverside Drive Vero Beach Florida 32966 United States
