West Palm Beach, FL – Present Global Art, a new upscale art gallery at 5301 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, will open Saturday (January 12) with an exhibition by Mikel Glass.  The exhibition will run at the gallery through Friday, February 1. Opening Reception is 5:30 p.m., January 12
 
Often categorized as a realist narrative painter, Mikel Glass imbues his figurative and still life paintings with exquisitely rendered and legible images.  However, the content of his overall imagery is layered with complex psychological situations and with social implications.  An extremely literate and witty artist, reviews of his works have been featured in Arts & Antiques Magazine, The New York Times, American Artist Magazine and The Washington Post.
 
Mikel Glass will attend the opening reception for his exhibition on Saturday, January 12, from 5:30 to 9 p.m.  Those wishing to attend can RSVP by calling Present Global Art at 561.588.1965.  
 
“Present Global Art is dedicated to bringing the world's finest visual artists to South Florida,” said Laura DiBello, assistant director at the new gallery. “Mikel Glass is a representational artist, trained in the classical style however with a fresh and very interesting edge. His art challenges the viewer to see common objects in an uncommon way, which is how he expands the perspective of his audience. We hope that this exciting show – as well as other future exhibitions at Present Global Art -- will bring a new perspective to the our arts community.”
 
Located at 5301 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, Present Global Art is open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and open to 7 p.m. on Thursday.  In honor of the opening of the Mikel Glass exhibition, the gallery will be open noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, January 13.
