Art TO DO The best art exhibits in Miami


Luis Montoya and Leslie Ortiz, “Culinary


Adventures” Montoya and Ortiz are in a small class of sculptors who still insist on handling every step of the production process, from design to casting to patination. This attention to detail is evident in their latest project, which examines the sculptural forms in organic matter like fruit, vegetables and shellfish—often transcending the object’s original form to create something fascinating and sublime. à ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries, 169 Madeira Ave, Coral Gables (305-444- 4493, virginiamiller.com). Through Feb 24.


Anna Betbeze, “Hot Fruit” Using fluffy wool rugs as her


primary medium, Betbeze explores feelings of aggression, eroticism and empathy through slashes, cuts, breaks and stains. The large-scale works featured in her debut exhibition at Nina Johnson reflect themes of saturation, touch, pleasure, ritual and value. à Nina Johnson, 6315 NW Second Ave (305- 571-2288, ninajohnson.com). Through Mar 4.

The collection of works spans more than 70 years and includes pieces by Robert Mapplethorpe and George Platt Lynes. à World Erotic Art Museum, 1205 Washington Ave, Miami Beach (305-532-9336, weam .com).
