Today AJ, Immanuel and I decided to take a stroll on our break to the the Sidney Mishkin Gallery 10 minutes away (walking distance) from the Baruch campus. Being an avid fan of independent art work I thought I’d be going into an exhibition with a tour lasting a minimum of 30 minutes. To our surprise when we got there, there was no docents or much of a collection at all. What we did see was some morbid frame work with depictions of skulls done by Patricia Olynyk. The second section contained a set of 3 or 4 paintings done by Elen K. Levy which captured my attention a lot more (as seen above :D). This type of style as described by the wall panel said that it was a combination of nature and colors within the urban world. For further notice, I would recommend a curator to be present to better understand the artists’ perspective in a more meaningful manner.

P.S.- They should add a more expansive gallery. One that doesn’t take 2 minutes to finish. kthxbye.
