- New
York´s gentrification never sleeps. Manhattan`s Lower East Side is
slowly degenerating into a party
district
with a legion of fast food places & other dives. They are pushing
many of the fine tiny art galleries out which can not afford the
climbing rents anymore.
But it seems that neighboring Chinatown is
benefiting. I spot there many new art dealers which take advantage from
the still reasonable rents. The gallery King´s Leap on Henry Street belongs to them.
Last week I saw an exhibition with paintings by Joe W. Speier ( kingsleap). The show is called "Self-Portraits" - and so are the images.
I like the surrealist mirror effects. All paintings are acrylic on canvas.
