I must say I was very happy to note that UGallery decided to compare one of my paintings to one of Chuck Close's. I was informed of this by UGallery this afternoon. Chuck Close remains one of my role models.

Pictures from a recent group show

The Openhouse Gallery in NoLIta, NYC in partnership with the online gallery Ugallery.com presented a group show yesterday evening to raise awareness and money for art based therapy for mental diseases. 'Rendile' 72" (h) X 101" (w), an oil done by me last year was among the artworks chosen by Ugallery.com for the  show. Pictures from the show below. I must add that my large format monochrome painting did elicit some positive responses from the well attended evening gathering… Looking forward to the Affordable Art Fair early next month now…

The Shameless I post

'Rendile' 72" (h) X 101" (w), an oil done by me last year was among the artworks recently chosen by Ugallery.com for a show titled "Urban Canvas". The show is to be held on the evening of April 21st at the Openhouse Gallery in NoLIta, NYC. The event, a team effort made possible by the UJA Federation of New York and the online gallery Ugallery.com is to raise awareness for art therapy. I am happy.
