Craig Robins Collection Channels Francisco Goya’s Uncanny in ‘The Sleep of Reason’

by

As a seasoned art enthusiast who’s had the pleasure of traversing the world’s most renowned galleries and exhibitions, I must say that the Craig Robins Collection‘s “The Sleep of Reason” exhibition in Miami truly stands out. The way it transforms a corporate office space into an artistic haven is nothing short of inspiring.

The Craig Robins Collection showcases “The Sleep of Reason” at Dacra headquarters in Miami, displaying more than 300 pieces from this influential Design District titan. Inspired by Francisco Goya’s 1799 etching “El sueño de la razón produce monstruos (The sleep of reason produces monsters)” from his famous “Los Caprichos” series, the exhibition embraces a captivation with surreal states, filling the office environment with the artistic vigor characteristic of its vibrant locale.

This seminal work by Goya sets the stage for a dual exhibition featuring pieces by Kai Althoff and Jana Euler. Using sketches, paintings, and sculptures, these artists explore the disconcerting and delve into mental terrains that verge on the surreal and eerie. Adhering to a Freudian dream logic, Althoff and Euler portray this blend of emotion with an undeniable fervor.

Stretching over multiple levels, some notable features are Jill Mulleady’s latest purchases, Mario Ayala’s works, Karon Davis’ pieces, Bony Ramirez’s art, and Alteronce Gumby’s creations. Additionally, you can find renowned artists like John Baldessari, Mickalene Thomas, and Lauren Halsey on display, along with designs by greats such as Jean Prouvé, Zaha Hadid, Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Maarten Baas, and Samuel Ross.
