Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston is presenting "Interpolation," the first solo exhibition in the city for Dutch-born, London-based artist Sander Vos, running from May 16 to June 20, 2026. The show features photographs that deconstruct portraits and everyday objects through layering and spatial manipulation, drawing on Cubist influences and blending digital and analog processes.
The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts has launched "Cigars! Photography, Industry and Identity," a new exhibition by local photographer Zack Wittman. The show documents the architectural remnants of Tampa’s historic cigar industry, which once boasted over 200 factories but has dwindled to approximately 25 standing brick buildings. Through a collaboration with the J.C. Newman Cigar Company, Wittman captured both preserved and derelict structures that define the unique personality of Ybor City.
