Felipe Galindo “New York Stories”
Mark Miller Gallery
This event has ended.
The Mark Miller gallery presents “New York Stories” by renowned artist Felipe Galindo, a series of works created on disposable objects and sketches of New York City life, created during the past three decades.
Guided by the graphic qualities of throwaway materials (milk cartons, shopping bags, Chinese food containers, to name a few,) Galindo’s work makes humorous commentaries on everyday life and comments on today’s consumer society while celebrating life in the artist’s adopted city.
Galindo’s work gives new life to the debris of our market economy and creates unique works of art inspired by the beauty and complexity of castaway objects.
