MvVO ART’s newest art initiative is currently being exhibited at the legendary headquarters of Sotheby’s New York through February 25, 2018.
I had the amazing sensory experience of walking through the two-floor exhibition. On display were pieces utilizing every media. Light, sound, visual, motion were all used to wonderful effect in every work. An extraordinary piece entitled “The Man on the M5 Bus by Mike Goldberg even incorporated the sense of smell. I also had the pleasure to meet the artist David Paul who created the mesmerizing piece “Camouflage”, His creation utilizes spray paint and acrylic to create a mesmerizing effect that changes your perception as your eyes change perspective. Another artist to watch is Anderson Cupid who’s “Cousins “ painting engulfed me with nostalgia for simpler times.
