Luciana Abait
Crandon Park Golf Course Clubhouse
Key Biscayne, FL

“Vistas” captures the lush and exceptional natural landscape of Crandon Park. All of the eighty-four tiles are unique and portray specific references to the golf course area. Composed of a witty fusion of landscapes and structural grids, “Vistas” creates an illusion of windows along the breezeway of the Crandon Park Golf Course Clubhouse.

Abait, who works primarily with paint on canvas, was highly innovative with her choice of medium for this project and was very successful in adapting her work to appropriate the space. She began the project by painting each image on individual canvases. Once the canvases were painted, she then had each image transferred to glass tiles, which allowed the pieces to become much more durable and able to withstand the elements of the partially covered breezeway. This choice of medium creates a slightly luminescent surface and allows the installation to retain the painterly quality of Abait’s canvases.
