Felipe Galindo "Feggo"
All We Need Is Peace & Love...and Humor!
POSTPONEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: Unfortunately due to inclement weather, El Taller is postponing The Felipe Galindo Feggo Exhibition Opening Reception, this Saturday, May 7th.
The good news is that we already have a NEW DATE to mark on your calendars - Saturday, May 14th - at the same time and place (Anibal Aniveles Park from 3-5pm).
Felipe Galindo, "Feggo", has been creating humorous images for almost fifty years in diverse media, like cartoons, illustration, animation, fine art and public art (visit the 231st. Subway Station #1 line!)
He believes that humor is a beautiful and special language that allows us to see the world in a different manner, from the whimsical to the critical point of view.
He challenges himself, at times, to create images without resorting to the use of captions which avails his ideas to reach a universal audience.
When people ask him where he gets his ideas from, he reveals that everything inspires him, from nature, people, animals and cities to food, cars, planes, insects, clouds, you name it!
His love for art is evident: world cultures and history that he occasionally intertwines, like his project "Manhatitlan," where he celebrates Mexican and American Cultures; "George Washington Returns to New York City"; "Frida Khalo in New York"; and Lady Liberty in "Taking Liberties."
An exhibition of Feggo’s drawings are on display at Anibal Aviles Playground until June 28, 2022
OPENING RECEPTION: May 14, 2022 3-5pm
111 W 108th St, New York, NY 10025, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues
This exhibition program of El Taller Latino Americano's Grady Alexis Gallery is supported in part by funds from the Department of Cultural Affairs and the City Council with further support by the Jacob and Ruth Epstein Foundation, the Columbus-Amsterdam BID, and The NYC Parks Department
