Join us for a private finale and visit with artists Francisco de la Torre and Franky Cruz at the Gesamtkunstwerk with Spinello Projects. RSVP here.
For his debut solo exhibition with the gallery, Francisco De La Torre’s SOS: Self Organizing Systems introduces new botanical design objects and paintings on canvas. An interplay between two- and three-dimensional works, the exhibit is informed by the “holon” as described by Arthur Koestler in his book The Ghost in the Machine, and by individual specimens of plants and organizing systems.
Adjacent to SOS is Franky Cruz’s 1.618, a dedicated suite of small to large scale paintings and wall works that were created between 2017-2020 in the artist’s butterfly laboratory, Vivarium Meconium. In his lab, butterflies are reared from egg, to caterpillar, then to chrysalis in which they are suspended over watercolor paper capturing the meconium fluid (emergence secretions) in compositions ranging from dots, lines, and grids.
Replete with moments of surprise and wonder, we cannot wait for you to meet these astonishing artists and seasoned gallerist and curator Anthony Spinello.
