poster for “Lil’ Artworld” Exhibition

This event has ended.

Lil’ Artworld presents a group of works that can’t just be looked AT- they must be looked INTO. The artists use transformative shifts in scale to suggest continuous other-worlds in which their work resides. What results is an expansion of energy produced by an intense draw on the imaginative powers. Consequently, the artwork is given room to breathe, as are the viewers, in the midst of the chaos that will be Bushwick Open Studios.

Nicholas Buffon (b. 1987) lives and works in Manhattan. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College. He has been included in exhibitions at Callicoon Fine Arts, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Buffon’s work will be on view later this year in a solo exhibition at Callicoon Fine Arts.
