FINAL FRIDAY ART OPENING:
DYLAN SPEEG
Friday, October 25
5-7P
Artist Statement:
I love owner operated bodegas and motels. In this collection of paintings I wanted to elevate the everyday spaces we walk past everyday with touches of fantasy. Timeless and tasteful, or modern and messy, these forgotten spaces demand to be examined.
