Laguna Beach, California.- Fresh from artist residencies in Paris and Germany, saltfineart presents “Graffiti Nature: The Nature of Graffiti”, an exhibition introducing paintings by celebrated Panamanian street artist Cisco Merel and artist collaborative dubbed W (Paz Ulloa and Vinicio Jimenez). “Graffiti Nature” will be on view at the gallery from November 3rd through December 29th and there will be an opening reception on Thursday, November 3rd from 6 – 9 pm. Graffiti Nature / The Nature of Graffiti explores the spectrum of influence “street art” has had on contemporary art through the work of two ground-breaking artists, Cisco Merel and the collaborative team W. Merel’s canvases combine the compositional awareness of a classical painter and the graphic qualities of a street artist in order to convey a post-modern Utopia, moments of beauty and color infused into a world of chaos and concrete.
