Museum Collection
The Tampa Museum of Art's collection of contemporary art is in storage
while TMA is housed in its temporary location at
2306 N. Howard Avenue
in Tampa. Construction of the new museum facility in downtown Tampa's
Curtis Hixon Park will begin in early 2008, with the opening of the new
building expected in the fall of 2009.
Works On Paper
The Museum's collection of
works on paper numbers over 800 and illustrates a variety of printmaking
techniques, styles, and themes. The printmaking collection includes a
number of contemporary examples produced at Graphicstudio/USF, a
nationally recognized printmaking workshop located in Tampa at the
University of South Florida, as well as earlier, historical works which
provide context for contemporary printmaking developments.

José Bedia
(Cuban/American, born 1959)
Semana Santa (Holy Week), 1998
Ink and contè crayon on amate paper
Collection of the Tampa Museum of Art
Museum Purchase
1999.1
Miami-based
Jose Bedia is internationally renown for his powerful paintings,
drawings, and mixed media installations which explore the
continuity of the past in the present. Through his art, Bedia
creatively explores the issue of "de donde vengo" (where
i come from). Although infused with personal experience and
specific symbolism, Bedia's works seamlessly cross several
boundaries in time, place, and culture, in addition to
representing basic conflicts: ancient vs. modern, natural vs.
man-made, spiritual vs. physical. The artist is most interested in
fusing links between different cultures, specifically the tribal
and contemporary spiritual traditions of Native American, African,
and Cuban communities. |
