(Drivebycuriosity) - Manhattan`s Lower East Side is slowly degenerating into a party district with a legion of fast food places & other dives. But there could be still some fine art discovered.
Morgan Presents,
an exhibition space on Suffolk street, belongs to the stalwarts of
culture, worth a visit. The place is founded and directed by Morgan
Aguiar-Lucander ( about).
Last week I spotted there an exhibition with works by Chloe West (b. 1993, Cheyenne, WY press). The show was called "Somebody´s Sins", a reference to “Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine" by Patti Smith. I love these paintings which remind me of Caravaggio and other opulent baroque artists.
