Join us for the opening reception of Wallace dos Santos: Cherry Blossom Girl on Tuesday, November 17 from 6 – 9 PM, with remarks at 7 PM. The exhibition features a series of sculpturally framed paintings incorporating paper pulp made from recycled, everyday waste. Reflecting on the nostalgia and sweetness of the artist’s childhood in New York City, the exhibition explores how a place becomes imbricated with the people, memories, architectural details, and recurrent encounters that shape our lives.
