Dallas Art Fair Booth C3

Written By Regina Durante Jestrow

Baker—Hall is pleased to present a focused group of three artists—Miguel Arzabe, Regina Durante Jestrow, and Jonathan Gonzalez—at the Dallas Art Fair. Working across painting, textile, and sculptural form, each artist engages abstraction through a shared sensibility rooted in tropical modernism: a language defined by vibrant palettes, geometric clarity, and a deep attention to material.

Miguel Arzabe’s paintings begin as distinct compositions that are physically cut and rewoven, collapsing the boundary between painting and object. His process introduces a structural rhythm that is both precise and improvisational, resulting in surfaces that feel at once constructed and fluid.

Regina Durante Jestrow expands the legacy of quilt-making into a contemporary, painterly field, where hand-dyed and sourced textiles are layered and stitched into compositions that balance intuition with formal rigor.

Regina Durante Jestrow

Regina Durante Jestrow (1978) is a textile artist from Queens, New York, who currently calls Miami, Florida, her home. Her artistic journey began in her formative years, as she learned sewing and crocheting from her mother, igniting a passion that would become a lifelong force. This connection to Fiber arts is the bedrock of her artistic practice. Relocating to Miami allowed Jestrow to delve into quilting. This became a source of solace and creative expression. In her Miami home studio, the sewing machine, a symbol of comfort and creativity, continued taking center stage.

Regina Jestrow's artistic exploration is deeply rooted in women's rights and history, combined with a deep appreciation for the patterns and stories drawn from the enduring traditions of American quilt-making. Her art quilts feature a fusion of new and second-hand fabrics, including hand-dyed and manipulated textiles, through various techniques, including natural and reactive dyes, inks, staining, and controlled burning. The resulting pieces reflect the colors and patterns that evoke Miami's dynamic cultural diversity and landscape. Her affinity for textile arts pushes the boundaries of the medium, resulting in a diverse body of work that includes painting, drawings, sculptural installations, textile wall hangings, and functional objects.
