Art Boca Raton is currently in the midst of its third year of bringing emerging, postwar and contemporary art to Boca Raton, from its pop-up confines at FAU’s Research Park. The five-day shindig (the first public day is Thursday) welcomes nearly 40 galleries from Europe and the Americas to our favorite city. To help you navigate such a generous surplus of art, we thought we’d spotlight five not to miss.

Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts- A stellar contemporary-art gallery in upstate New York, Brunelli houses Austria’s Martin C. Herbst, whose tricks of the eye include cosmic portraits, painted on spheres, that distort when viewed from different angles; and faces painted on mirrored, folded aluminum panels. Brunelli is also home to South Florida’s Ray Gross, who creates hand-painted, hyper-realistic sculptures of everyday art objects.

Looking back is often the best method to truly finding beauty. Giving the heart and mind time to settle after exposure to the extraordinary works of art or design on show at dozens of fairs, allows for the effects of being overwhelmed to settle.

Below are my favorite discoveries for various reasons ranging from work that is truly evocative, honest and innovative in technique. I hope you enjoy my selections.
