Lee Quiñones Pop-Up Show
Nuyorican graffiti veteran Lee Quiñones will be having a show of early drawings alongside newer work at Nicole Klagsburn gallery. Quiñones developed his art style in the 1970s when New York’s street art scene was burgeoning and economic and social issues in the city were as dire as ever. You can imagine that the artwork coming out of this time period was aggressive, radical, and even frantic. The show aims to place Quiñones’ early drawings side by side with more recent work where he uses more elements of collage. You can view the show at 291 Grand St. until June 7th.

Carlos Quintana Recent Works
Cuban and Cuban-based artist Carlos Quintana is showing new work at a fancy place called the National Arts Club. Quintana interacts with his paintings in what one might call “non-traditional” methods such as mixing spit and urine with the paint on the canvas. He also uses a lot of Eastern symbolism along with Cuban imagery. You can visit the gallery between 10am and 5pm Monday through Friday until May 30th.
