during miami art week, chilean artist dasic fernández is adding one of his signature ‘inverse drip’ murals to wynwood walls — a former warehouse district turned street art complex in south florida. the wall-mounted image depicts a vibrantly-painted female figure formed from sinuous clusters of color that fit together like puzzle pieces. these curvaceous shapes create the illustration of a woman with her head restfully leaning on her arms. each of the painted daubs drip, not in their natural direction downwards, but up towards the sky in a surreal reverse of gravity. to the left of the composition, a small hummingbird hovers above the scene.

dasic fernández has created this piece as part of the program ‘fear less’ at wynwood walls. the exhibition, presented by citi, brings together twelve internationally renowned muralists under a single theme, calling on the artists to be ‘fearless’ in a world that often seems absorbed with anxiety.
designboom is in miami for the city’s annual art and design week, where we watched dasic fernández’s live painting in wynwood. see images and a video of the artist in action, below, and see our ongoing coverage of miami art week here.
