“Figurations”
Running from May 8
through August 4
Queens native and artist Domingo Carrasco continues
to show his exhibit “Figurations” at Communitea in LIC.
“Figurations” celebrates color and form from an abstract
modernist standpoint. The exhibit attempts to idealize the
human spirit while simultaneously emphasizing Carrasco’s
fascination with color. It captures the artist’s struggles as he
seeks to tame the physical properties of the paint without
compromising the narrative element of the work, through
the use of bold lines and colors.
