Ryan Bevilaqua's Le Garage Delray, Florida


Ryan Bevilaqua of Loft 594 fame in Bushwick is now heading up operations down in South Florida at the Le Garage gallery in Delray Beach, Florida. The inaugural show is entitled "In the Beginning...The story of the Big Bang." It opened November 6 and runs through December 10th. I'm very pleased to be a part of this show with three paintings and to be in a show that includes Edmund Campos who did the wonderful concrete painting that is sandwiched in between two of my works above.
Le Garage is part of the growing scene that was spearheaded by the Gavlak Gallery in Palm Beach. Best of luck to Ryan and his crew!
