This catalogue documents the exhibition of works by six outstanding Florida
artists whose practice, although in its early stages, shows commitment,
consistency, refinement, and promise. More than a year ago we started a
collaboration that resulted in a unique initiative to support and help develop the
artistic career of practitioners in our state. The Rollins Museum of Art and The
UCF Art Gallery at the University of Central Florida are proud to present the
first edition of Pathways: The Carlos Malamud Prize, a juried, biennial, dual-venue
exhibition whose goal is to nurture emerging artists and provide a pathway to
success through consistent engagement over time. Aligned with the educational
missions of both presenting institutions, the exhibition and prize provide a unique
and transformative experience that sets it apart from other art competitions.

For this inaugural edition, three jurors, each an expert in a different area of
the art world, selected six finalists from a pool of more than fifty applicants
representing all areas of the state, from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to Central
Florida, Gainesville, and Tallahassee, among others. They carefully considered
the merits of each submission, finally putting together an exceptional roster of
artists of diverse backgrounds and experiences, who work in a variety of media
and themes. We are grateful to Omari Booker, Visual Artist, Los Angeles and
Nashville, Jonell Logan, Independent Curator and Vice President and Creative
Director of the McColl Center, North Carolina, and Liz Parks, Art Advisor and
Founder of Parks Fine Art, New York, for their time, commitment, and vision as
they juried each submission. Their participation and engagement in this process
has been invaluable. The expertise of each of the jurors, and their interactions with
the artists will contribute to expand their network and create dialogue as their
practice develops.

This year’s finalists: Eugene Ofori Agyei, Channing Gray, Aimee Jones,
Eric Ondina, Ivan Riascos, and April Webb, conform an artistic cohort that
represents the diversity of approaches to art making—from installation and

sculpture, to painting, photography, and collage, the works by these artists
reaffirm the vibrancy of the arts in Florida. As we congratulate the first winner
of the Carlos Malamud prize, we are reminded of how important it is to create
opportunities and to foster rigorous and sustained growth for artists.

We hope that this is the first of many editions of Pathways, and that we can help
prepare and nurture the path for many artists to come. In doing so, we will engage
our wider community, offer practical support for artists, and create new avenues
of engagement with the arts in Florida. “I am very pleased to have partnered with
these excellent institutions, that will help transform the emerging artists of Florida,
in the art and financial fields,” noted Carlos Malamud.

Our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Malamud for bringing the concept of the
exhibition to the Rollins Museum of Art and providing the funding for the prize,
and to the Pabst Steinmetz Foundation, Presenting Sponsor of the exhibition at
Rollins, for generously funding the installation and catalogue.

Omari Booker
VISUAL ARTIST, LOS ANGELES, AND NASHVILLE

The quality of selected and submitted artwork for the Pathways prize was
exceptional. Exposure, experience, and financial assistance are essential
steppingstones for emerging artists. Pathways is a well-rounded opportunity
that will greatly boost the selected artists’ careers.

Ivan Riascos’ work is visually appealing and intellectually stimulating. The


balanced collage elements feel familiar and surreal simultaneously. I was
immediately drawn to the images. The depth that each piece holds pulls the
viewer into each layer of the work.

I appreciate how Channing Gray connects the physical, spiritual, and universal
worlds. Her circular figurative works triggered my imagination and never let me
rest in one place. The mixed media elements as well as the stylized imagery create
realistic work with a dream like quality. Those philosophical questions that are
explored in her work give the pieces a lot of depth.

Liz Parks
ART ADVISOR AND FOUNDER OF PARKS FINE ART, NEW YORK CITY

It was a pleasure participating as a juror for Pathways. As a New York based art
advisor who typically works with more established artists, I was truly overwhelmed
by the quality of the work presented by these young Florida-based artists. They
are testament to the vibrancy of the creative communities and cultures present in
their home state. I have no doubt that the finalists we have selected have bright and
promising art futures ahead of them.

The biting social commentary drew me in, the adept technique made me stay.
Eric Ondina uses imagery taken from the far reaches of social media’s lefts and
rights to comment on our fractured society, point out the absurd, call out the
inconsistencies. Painted using materials most often associated with the Old
Masters, from centuries ago, the contrast of contemporary with old school further
accentuates the dichotomy of incongruities within the current social and political
climate in the United States. Dare we deserve such revered treatment...of the type
typically reserved for the saints but not the sinners?

A sculptor from Ghana currently residing in the US, Eugene Ofori Agyei draws from
his past to circle the square of his present, exploring the emotional links between
the two places he calls home. There is much push-pull in the work - hard/soft,
handcrafted/machine-made, history/the here-and-now. The works function as
three-dimensional poems of Agyei’s emotions, with the ceramic signifying the body;
the batik, its skin; and the yarn, the link between two worlds, two identities. As the
heart and soul of each sculpture, the abstracted corporeal
ceramic forms illustrate Agyei’s technical mastery of clay. As
the skin, the batik helps shroud this form, protecting it, and
perhaps, at times, hiding it away. (And, with batik’s myriad
sites of creation and exportation around the world, it also
serves as a signpost for global trade, a linking of cultures.)
This link is fortified by the yarn, which makes a nod toward
hair braiding in Agyei’s native Ghana but also serves as the
connection to Agyei’s new home. All elements mix and
swirl and ultimately settle into a new hybrid identity.

Jonell Logan
INDEPENDENT CURATOR AND VICE PRESIDENT AND
CREATIVE DIRECTOR, MCCOLL CENTER, NORTH CAROLINA

Initiatives like this are so important for emerging artists. Creating


opportunities to show your work at an institution is a must for artists as
they build their careers. I so enjoyed being a part of this process and being
exposed to the work of new artists.

April Webb’s interrogation of women’s work through her use of repurposed


domestic materials is interesting from a social and material perspective.
The choice to salvage materials from other women’s homes, then add her labor
to create installations and performances that demonstrate the beauty and toil
that exist for women in our domestic lives.

High-key color and the fragmentary forms bring power to Aimee Jones’
paintings. Her use of familiar domestic objects and patterns contrast against
her representation, or in some cases, simple suggestion of the figure. These
fragments of the odd and familiar are a wonderful foil for her conversation about
mental health, femininity, and the vulnerability of the body.

Eric Ondina
received his M.F.A. from the University of South Florida in 2019 and his B.F.A.
from Florida State University in 2013. His research analyzes the fractious political
conditions within the United States and visualizes its social repercussions
by way of comedy, tragedy and absurdity through painting and multimedia
collaborations. Eric has an extensive background in the technical processes of
painting and drawing. His recent cycle of work embraces academic painting’s
assumed prerequisite mastery to fulfill the mass expectation of art to interpolate
visualizations of the American entropic condition. Eric has exhibited locally and
nationally. Most recently Eric participated in The Skyway 20/21 exhibition, a
collaboration between four institutions: the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg;
The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota; the Tampa Museum of Art;
and the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa.
