Protinus

Two Foxes, acrilic paint on linen, 36 x 24 inchesxxxxxxxx



 Painting Consuelo, acrylic on linen; 40 x 36 incxx

LAST NIGHT  I had the honor and pleasure of being included in the show Protinus with an extremely accomplished group of painters right in the middle of the zeitgeist at Dacia Gallery, NYC.  The paintings of mine that were curated for the show are shown above.

Dacia is a beautiful, intimate  gallery, well located on the Lower East Side (53 Stanton Street).  There was an excellent turnout for the opening. Lee Vasu, an artist himself, is the curator and co-founder of Dacia along with his business partner, Damian Salo. Lee and Damian are very nurturing to their artists. They had all the artists give informal talks about their work at the opening.  It was very inspiring and a lot of fun! I loved showing there.

  9. It was great to see and hear you give a wonderful insight into your painting and your reasons to love your art are so rewarding. And you once asked me - did we have an art class in HS? - Well yes we did, but you certainly did fabulous whether you attended it or not. You were an artist long before then. Paint on Depingo!
