Jason D'Aquino Exhibition
Last Rites Gallery
This event has ended.
Running concurrently to Jason D'Aquino's "Lead Poisoning" curatorial debut, will be his third solo show in Manhattan. Jason's work is miniature in scale and created on antique surfaces and found objects. The nature and origin of the surface will often dictate, and interact with the image rendered upon it, and no surfaces are ever artificially aged. The matchbook is his canvas of choice because this easily recognizable object lends an instant scale reference to the drawing, regardless of the media in which it is being viewed . Jason's matchbooks and original graphite drawings have been exhibited all over the U.S., and recently at his first European solo show in Luxembourg at Galerie Nordine Zidoun. His work has been extensively published by media including The New York Times, Juxtapoz, and Hi Fructose Magazine. He will be featured in the Bound edition of "Hi Fructose Collected" & Matt Jordan's "Weirdo Noir"; and his Circus ABC book (recently published by simply read books) will be available for signing at the Last Rites gallery opening. His tattoo work can be seen everywhere, and he can be found personally at his studio, Leviathan Tattoo, in Buffalo NY.
