ASTON MARTIN RESIDENCES ART GALLERY PRESENTS AN INTERSPECIES EXHIBITION WITH SAVE THE CHIMPS

-










 

The Aston Martin Residences Art Gallery introduces a unique collaboration with Save The Chimps, as the latest partner for its Virtual Art Gallery exhibition series, marking the first non-profit organization to be associated with the iconic luxury residences in Miami.

 

The exhibit by Save The Chimps, entitled “Interspecies,” will be featured for 45 days as a three-dimensional immersive experience, replicating the residence’s physical art gallery being developed on the 52nd floor, and is now live at https://astonmartinresidences.github.io/virtualtour/.

 

Based in Fort Pierce, Florida, Save the Chimps is one of the largest chimpanzee sanctuaries in the world, whose mission is to provide refuge and exemplary care to chimpanzees in need. Save the Chimps offers life-long care for chimpanzees retired from research laboratories, the pet trade, and entertainment industry. 

 

The B-52s band members, Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider and Cindy Wilson, collaborated with Save The Chimps and its chimp artists from the 150-acre refuge to create a collection of acrylic-on-canvas paintings that are included in the exhibit, based on the vivid colors of the band’s most popular album covers. Kate and her fellow band members paint the base canvases in various background colors and select the color combinations for the chimps to finish each piece of art in their own style of brushstroke.  Each piece in the collection of works has been named after a B-52s song or lyric and is signed by the band members. All proceeds benefit Save the Chimps.

 

Also featured in the new virtual exhibit are works by artist Karen Bystedt, who donated original prints from her ‘Lost Warhols’ series of work for the chimps to paint on—much like Warhol himself painted on photos of celebrities. 

 

Rounding out the exhibit are five paintings featuring chrome backgrounds with colorful brushstrokes added by ape artists, each piece named after a classic Aston Martin model

Interview with Gabriela Panduru: Fashion Is My Voice

Fashion Is My Voice  1. Fashion is often seen as a form of art or a way to follow trends. For you, it seems much more personal. What does fashion mean to you on a deeper level? Gabriela : For me, fashion is deeply intertwined with who I am. It’s more than just picking an outfit—it’s an emotional process, almost like storytelling. Each piece I wear reflects a part of my journey, my personality, or even my mood that day. Fashion has always been my escape, a way to free myself from limitations and express things I sometimes can’t put into words. It’s bold, raw, and unapologetic—just like I strive to be. Through fashion, I’ve learned to embrace my individuality and show the world my unique perspective. It’s where creativity meets authenticity, and for me, that’s incredibly empowering. It’s not about trends or fitting in—it’s about standing out and feeling true to myself. 2. You’ve described fashion as your “voice.” Can you elaborate on how your style helps you express emotions or ideas...
