\"\"WHAT:
\n<\/strong>Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs<\/a> presents \u201cMade in Florida,\u201d a solo exhibit by Chris Trovador.

According to Trovador<\/a>, \u201cMade in Florida\u201d reflects origin, process, and place. Shaped by living and working in Florida, these works treat the environment as a material rather than a backdrop. Influenced by Caribbean culture, the paintings and mixed media pieces carry traces of labor, experimentation, and instinct, with process left visible rather than polished away. The work blends humor with idea-driven exploration while also allowing space for quieter, more serious moments. Playfulness and reflection exist side by side, using color, texture, and mark making to invite viewers in and encourage deeper consideration. Made in Florida does not attempt to define Florida as an aesthetic. It claims it as an influence, presenting work that speaks plainly about where it comes from and how environment and culture shape voice.\u201d<\/p>\n
