UNNATURAL SELECTION

Curated by Craig Norton

​An exhibition highlighting species endangered by human activity and the effects it will have on our world: over-harvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, over-hunting, exotic animal trade and trophy hunting, among other influences. Although global climate change is a major cause for species extinction, this exhibition will be focusing on the endangered animals themselves and the possible effects of their removal for the ecosystem.

Opening Reception:
Saturday, September 8
On View: August 30 – September 30 at
LIC-A/ The Plaxall Gallery

What Happened to all these pedestrians?. They Lost Their Heads!
Social media has been controlling our lives for the last 10 years. It is the reason why people have lost interest in real communication. Virtual reality became reality

“The dynamic breadth and range of the different pieces in various media from painting to sculpture to mixed media show that even a seemingly innocuous word can produce an amazing array of work triggering a layered, loaded outpouring of expression in a grand, individual style”

LIC-A Members Showcase – Spring
An Art Exhibition  From Your Neighborhood Artists
May 16 – June 3, 2018

My story:
“Most of my followers find my art dark and depressing so they suggested me to take a break and stay away from it so that may help improve my style or refresh my brain with flowers, gardens, cats, dogs or snakes etc. which I did.
I’m back to my studio to work harder than ever, and now my followers find my art more depressing, black, bleak, discouraging, gloomy, daunting, hopeless, dismal, melancholy and more heartbreaking than before!…I think I’m getting better!.”
