behind gallery row

South Granville Gallery Row is "The number one destination for ART" according to its own proclamation -

and true, many of the city's most established and venerable art galleries are strung out along the west side of Granville Street between West 5th Avenue to West Broadway [with a few further south before West 15th Avenue]

Of course, the alleyway behind the galleries is almost as impeccably kept as their interiors, but I managed to expose some accidental art all the same - the raw and rapacious expressions of anonymous artists, unaware, and yet perhaps all too aware, that their rapturous creations may catch the oblivious attentions of dumpster divers pushing their rickety shopping carts as well as gallery owners parking their fancy european models alike...

primitive multi-pole pyro-peel mix-media studies - [also categorized as expressionistic torn-and-torch relief collages]...

a partial figurative representation in somewhat random sequential multi-media narrative...

illusionistic photo-based pastiche on paper and wood post with graphic paint running-overlay...

large scale photographed architectural elements surface-collaged onto actual architectural elements...[so very clever indeed - truly brilliant!]

con-textual affirmations as desperate artistic gesticulations, thus provoking such pithy profound insight...as always...

[behind Monte Clark Gallery]

a minimalist study in graffiti-proof grays delineated by the faintly perceptible brick pattern and unexpectedly highlighted by a spot-splatter of "fowl-white" [from an all-natural organic digestive juice paint selection]*...

*please indulge me my oddly acculturated and floridly eccentric "artspeak"...just because ostentatious blah-blah-blah about art is almost as much fun as making the damn thing itself...
