Local artists exhibiting include Bobbie Bernstein of Westport, Tara Blackwell of Stamford, Sonia Bombart of Weston, Milan Chilla of Rowayton, David Kaplan of Greenwich, Al Coyote Weiner of Fairfield, and Gregory Ziebell of Norwalk.
“Hidden messages, bold colors, lines and imagery, powerful statements are some of the characteristics of the artworks selected for our latest exhibition,” says the Gallery’s curator Nadia Martinez. “These pieces have been inspired by the street's language as street art, guerrilla art, graffiti, tagging, stencil graffiti, poster art, and urban intervention and movements.”
