Art Miami 2026: Cynthia Corbett Gallery Celebrates 17 Consecutive Years at Art Miami

ANDY BURGESS

b. 1969, London, UK

Lauded by Tatler Deputy Editor Annabel Sampson as "the next David Hockney," painter Andy Burgess is known for his paintings of contemporary and mid-century modern architecture. Burgess selects buildings for their clean lines, bold geometry, and dynamic forms, then reimagines them with new colour schemes that push the modernist lexicon beyond its traditional white-and-primary palette. Real places are sometimes altered — new furniture, landscaping, and theatrical lighting lend his scenes a dream-like, seductive quality. Alongside his large-scale paintings, Burgess creates collages from vintage American ephemera, cut apart and reconstructed into vivid pop-art pieces and constructed cityscapes.

Based in Arizona and originally from London, Burgess has exhibited widely throughout the UK and USA, with notable solo shows including Pop Geometry, Skidmore Contemporary Art, Laguna Beach, USA (2026); Modernism Revisited: 20 Years of Vision, Cynthia Corbett Gallery, 67 York Street Gallery (2026); Transcendent Geometries, Lisa Sette Gallery, Phoenix, USA (2024); Mid-century Perspectives, Tucson Museum of Art, Tucson, USA (2018); and Paper City, The University of Arizona Museum of Art (2012). He has also participated in major art fairs including Art Miami, Expo Chicago, The British Art Fair, The London Art Fair, Art Palm Beach, LA Art Show, Art Hamptons, Art Central in Hong Kong, Art New York, Art Palm Springs, and SCOPE.

Burgess has completed commissions for institutions including Crossrail, Cunard, APL Shipping, and Mandarin Oriental Hotels, and most recently created a series of site-specific artworks for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

His collectors include Booker Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, actor and writer Emma Thompson, actor Maggie Gyllenhall, The Chazen Museum in Madison, Wisconsin, the Phoenix Art Museum, and Richard and Ellen Sandor in Chicago, whose collection ranks among the top 100 in America.

Andy Burgess has been represented internationally by Cynthia Corbett Gallery since 2004.

CRISTINA SCHEK

b. Transylvania, Romania

Cristina Schek is a London-based Transylvanian Surrealist working across photography, digital montage, textile and installation. Her practice begins with self-portraiture but often moves beyond the frame: she prints on textile, uses the body as support, thinks sculpturally and blurs the boundary between portrait, object and staged apparition. Drawing from literature, cinema, art history and the subconscious, Schek constructs layered visual worlds where identity is performed, fractured and reimagined. Her work turns the photographic image into something theatrical and uncanny.

Her work has been exhibited internationally at major art fairs and museums, including Elmbridge Museum and Kingston Museum. Schek has received multiple Young Masters distinctions, including First Prize in the 2025 People’s Choice Award, Highly Commended for the Rudolph Blume Foundation Acquisition Award 2025 and the 2021 Focus on the Female Award. Schek was also recently chosen to exhibit at 'Her Court: the Role Wimbledon Played in the Suffragette Movement', a collaborative exhibition between Young Masters and Wimbledon Museum.

Selected Press Quote: Following Schek’s 2026 exhibition Line of Beauty at The Exhibitionist Hotel, South Kensington, leading UK art critic, art historian, author and lecturer Estelle Lovatt FRSA wrote: “In a league of her own, Cristina Schek’s incredible visual adventures embrace life, beyond life. Piloting artistic vision between reality and imagination, I’m calling it Surreal Neo-Romantic Universalism. Questioning what’s factual by what’s make-believe, Schek bends Einstein and Newton, making her new artwork fairytales for grownups.” Estelle Lovatt FRSA

Cristina Schek has three auction records, including two with Phillips London, and won the W4th Plinth in 2023 with The Ceiling in the Sky, a monumental 4 x 4 metre public artwork installed in West London.

MARGO SELBY

b. 1977, Eastbourne, UK

Selby is an artist and designer working with colour and geometric form in textiles. She makes handwoven artworks, and oversees the design work of the Margo Selby Studio for mill production and commercial textiles applications – her tenet being ‘Art Into Industry’ – an approach to making art that is akin to that of the ‘Old Masters’ and mistresses, with their expanded studios and public commissions.

Selby uses thread to create abstract geometric artworks that explore repetition and transition, symmetry and asymmetry, the dynamic and the stable. She is interested in the relationship between the body and the machine, hand and industry, craft and technology. The loom, and the disciplined nature of weaving as a practice, provides boundaries and constraints which can be tested. The orderly nature of the craft of weaving is reflected in the developing designs of the artworks. She is satisfied by rhythmic and uniform repetition – where each element of a composition is changed in a methodical progression.

Margo Selby studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art in London, with a term at Atelier National d’Art in Paris. She now teaches in various institutions, and has her own studio weaving workshops. In 2020, Margo was the recipient of the Craft Council’s Collect Open Award for her large scale textiles installation Vexillum at Somerset House, and, in 2021, the bi-annual Turner Medal for ‘Britain’s Greatest Colorist’. She also gave the Turner Lecture, reflecting on her practice. 2022 saw her showing at multiple applied arts and craft fairs including Collect, London Craft Week, London Art Fair. In 2023, Selby exhibited at Art Miami, British Art Fair and Collect.

Margo Selby is represented internationally by Cynthia Corbett Gallery.

ELAINE WOO MACGREGOR

b. 1981, Scotland, UK.

Elaine Woo MacGregor is a Scottish-born Chinese artist whose vision offers a unique perspective, encompassing a fusion of cultures. Through her eclectic use of mark making and imagery, she weaves together atmospheric and theatrical narratives. While her painted stories may often be fictitious, they are rooted in real people, places, and objects.

"I am an expressive cross-cultural painter trained at the Glasgow School of Art, 1999 - 2003. Rhythmic calligraphic brushstrokes, exacting moments of drawing, suggestive mark-making that bridges between figuration and abstraction, eclectic colour palette and painterly techniques of surface play all feature strongly in my work. My painted stories and memories are of people based on my personal experiences and experiences of others found in books, films, fashion, and photography. Painting for me is a voyage of discovery and a sensation felt. I want my viewers to peer through layers of paint, dapples of colour and a smudge of a mark to enter an alternative reality." – Elaine Woo MacGregor

Notable solo exhibitions include Portraits in Glasgow (2006), Guizhou Paintings at Harbour Arts Centre (2008), Little Tales with Projectroom2020 in ArtNorth (2020), Maman et Muses at Patriothall Gallery, Edinburgh (2023), and Daughters of the Silk Roads at A_Place Gallery in Glasgow (2026). Selected group exhibitions include The Young Masters Autumn Exhibition, London (2022), The Thread that Pulls with the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) (2025), Sound & Vision (2025), and 'Art on a Postcard' (2023–2025). Notably, she was selected for Tales from the North with Cynthia Corbett Gallery (2024) and Platform 2023 at the London Art Fair in Reframing the Muse, curated by Ruth Millington.

Her work has been presented at several art fairs, including Art Miami, The British Art Fair, LA Art Show, Women in Art Fair, ING Discerning Eye, and Expo Chicago.

Woo MacGregor’s work is in British and international museum collections including Atkinson Art Gallery and Museum, UK; Art Gallery of South Australia; and 21C Museum and Hotel, USA; and Didrichsen Art Museum, Finland.

JO HOLDSWORTH

b. UK

Jo Holdsworth is a Young Masters alumna artist whose distinctive paintings explore reflected and elongated figures through a refined palette of blues, greys and muted tones. Her work combines cinematic atmospheres with loose, spontaneous brushwork, creating images that feel both serene and psychologically charged. “It’s the mixture of calm beauty and ambiguity throughout all of Jo Holdsworth’s paintings that mesmerizes the viewer,” observes art critic Tabish Khan for FAD Magazine.

Jo’s paintings for Art Miami 2026 are the first paintings in her new Art Deco series, inspired by the stripped-down modern architecture of 1930s hotels and buildings lining up Miami Beach and South Beach, Miami. The collection introduces a new color palette for Jo—with additional hues of pink, lemon yellow and French ultra marine—all reflective of Jo’s influences by the French Impressionist and post-Impressionist tradition.

In addition to her newest series, several paintings in Jo’s French series are heading to Art Miami 2026. Also delving deep into exploration of color palettes used by the likes of Monet and Renoir, each piece is inspired by localities in which French painters lived and worked.

Holdsworth has exhibited widely in the UK, and her notable solo exhibitions include Figures, 60 Threadneedle Street (2024); City & Coast, Neptune Wimbledon (2024); Destination London, Common Ground, Spacemade, Wimbledon village in conjunction with Ad Lib Gallery (2023); Reflective Figures, 508 Gallery (2021) and Viewing Figures, Norman Plastow Gallery (2019).

Jo Holdsworth was Highly Commended for the Young Masters Rudolph Blume Foundation Acquisition Award in 2025.

EBONY RUSSELL
b. Australia
Ebony Russell is an Australian ceramic artist who uses an unorthodox approach to construct ceramic sculptures. Her unique technique was developed out of an interest in gendered aesthetics, labour and traditional craft practices where Russell methodically pipes porcelain in series of intricate layers to build gravity- defying forms. Challenging the traditional making processes of decorative vessels; in her works the decoration becomes the structure, and the boundaries between the two are erased. Exploring established perceptions of cultural and artistic practices that were once exclusively coded as feminine and thus insignificant, Russell’s work celebrates the decorative, promiscuous aesthetics and politics of purity; the superficial, excess and delight – with pleasure.

Russell completed a Bachelor of Applied Arts (Honours) at Monash University in 2003 and in 2019 graduated from The National Art School Sydney with a Masters of Fine Art. Russell has won many awards including the Franz International Rising Star Award in 2018 and the Meroogal Women’s Art Prize in 2023. Major exhibitions include ‘Think Pinker’, Gavlak Gallery Los Angeles (2023), ‘SABOTAJE ESTEìTICO’, Yusto Giner Gallery, Spain (2022), ‘Halcyon Days’, Modern Eden Gallery, San Francisco (2022), ‘Clay Dynasty’, The Powerhouse Museum (2022), ‘Interconnected’, NERAM (2022), Young Masters Art Prize, London (2023), Teetering on the Brink, Claire Oliver Gallery, Harlem New York (2024), and Homo Faber, Venice (2024).

Ebony Russell was Highly Commended for the Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize 2023 and winner of the Brookfield Properties Craft Award 2025 in collaboration with Collect Art Fair, Crafts Council and Cynthia Corbett Gallery, followed by Ceramic Art Paris 2026. Ebony Russell's work was also acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2025.

SAERI SEO

b. 1992, Korea

The ‘Moon Jar’ is a representative piece of Korean traditional pottery of the Joseon Dynasty that has contributed the elevating the reputation of Korean ceramics worldwide. Historically, the moon jar was associated only with male roles, as women were not allowed to produce or access the studio due to the belief that they brought bad luck. To overcome a childhood and adolescence coloured by this belief (and accompanying abuse), SaeRi began destroying her works to reveal her trauma, incorporating shapes from Korean representative ceramics as her cultural background influenced her mental struggles. By detonating the beautiful pottery, she stepped forward and started communicating with the world.

SaeRi Seo studied ceramics for her BA at Seoul Women’s University, and went on to complete a Masters in Ceramics and Makers at Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2022. Recent exhibitions and awards include: NAE Open 2023, New Art Exchange (2023), RBA Rising Stars Exhibition, The Royal Over-Seas League (2023), and nominated as a finalist for the BADA Art Award (2022).

SaeRi Seo was selected for Homo Faber 2024: The Journey of Life, coinciding with the Venice Biennale, further establishing her presence in the international art scene. SaeRi Seo made her debut at Collect with Cynthia Corbett Gallery in 2024 and at the prestigious British Art Fair in 2025. In addition she was presented for the first time at Art Miami during Art Miami Basel in 2025, marking another significant milestone in her artistic career.“

SaeRi Seo won the Young Masters Emerging Woman Artist Award in 2023 and made her professional debut at Art Miami 2025, followed by Ceramic Art Paris 2026.

Klari Reis is an American painter and sculptor whose artwork reflects her focus on the complex inner workings of the human body and the natural world—constantly interpreting magnified, electron microscope images of biological forms in vivid colours. Her works are imaginative recreations and curious inquiries into our place in the universe; proposing new ways of seeing and understanding our natural environment through painting and sculpture, and testing the boundaries of logical systems. Responding to biological technologies and the mysteries of life that lie beneath our skin, Reis’s work is an expression of an ongoing curiosity about the deeper forces at the core of our physical selves. In her more recent Petri Dish Installations, each painting is moulded and set in layers. At a certain point in its process, the picture is able to paint itself, and the artist is no longer in control.

Klari Reis lives and works in San Francisco, California. She holds a Master of Fine Arts (2004) and an Associate Research Fellowship (2005) from the City and Guilds of London Art School. Her artwork has been widely exhibited and displayed in the USA, Italy, Germany, Spain, Scotland, England, China, and United Arab Emirates.

Klari Reis’s work has been included in the collections of Stanford University, Google, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Merck Pharmaceuticals, Genentech, and The Gates Foundation. Her work is also held in the public collections of the MEG centre in Oxford, England, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, The Peninsula Hotel, The Pullman Group, Theo Randall restaurant in London’s InterContinental Hotel, Standard Life Investments in Bristol and London, Next World Capital, 200 Brannan in San Francisco, Morley Fund Management in London, Actelion in San Francisco, Stanford Hospital, Elan Pharmaceuticals, and Cytokinetics in San Francisco.

Her paintings are in the private collections of contemporary art patrons worldwide and have been featured in international publications such as The Art of England, The New York Times, GQ Australia, Wired UK, Nature Chemical Biology, Elle Magazine, Time Out London, Artweek San Francisco, Giornale del Medico in Italy, The London Times, The London Independent, Scottish Field Magazine in Glasgow, Frieze Magazine and the Financial Times in London, the San Francisco Business Times, BBC1, CNN Business Report, CBS News and the Discovery Channel.

Klari Reis is represented internationally by Cynthia Corbett Gallery.
