December 4-8 at the Aqua Hotel

Aqua Art Miami, which will take place during Art Basel, will feature internationally acclaimed Israeli artists, Natan Elkanovich, Yanai Navon and Roman Gulman. Wrote Venue Magazine of Elkanovich,"Developing his own 3D technique using pâtissier tools from piping bags and irons to mixers, Elkanovich’s bailiwick of textile application emanates throughout his artwork like a rhapsodic menagerie in a hyper-realistic fantasia of color and 3D illusionary opulence."
