Alex White Mazzarella “Society Under Fire”
Soapbox Gallery
This event has ended.
The Soapbox Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening “Society Under Fire” which presents recent works by visual artist Alex White Mazzarella. On display are six recent neo-expressionist mixed media paintings that visually communicate our perceived societal condition and its increasing threat to our humanity.
Highlighting the show is a seven-foot red, yellow and gray painting/drawing, titled “Becoming Bubble Gum”. Here alongside an iconic language and provocative script, a punk like fetus lays hostage to an arriving sharp and jagged environment. This painting is made from oil pastel, charcoal, acrylic paint, enamel, coffee grounds and buckets of water. It will remain in the storefront gallery window through May 15.
ABOUT THE ARTIST Alex White-Mazzarella, Boston 1979, is trained as an economist, urban planner and artist who moved to New York City in 2008 after living in Hong Kong, Barcelona and Rome. Building upon street art and graffiti as the cave paintings of today, his intense yet whimsical work expresses perspectives on the contemporary human in an urban language derived from his current working city, New York.
