Queens, NY.- On thursday, December the 13th, there was an art exhibition at the Diego Salazar Art Gallery, where 14 artists presented their work, many of which were images of a Long Island City that no longer exists: the Power Plant at 5th St. and 51st Ave. with its original stacks, which is now a luxury apartment building, and the old Gantries before they were polished up and became focal points for the waterside park.
Some of these artists found inspiration in the more industrial Long Island City, which is fast disappearing. You could find people in some of the paintings doing ordinary things; other paintings encompassed strange inward realities that are often expressed symbolically.
Photos of crashed cars and torn billboards eyeing us mysteriously, hanging cloth paintings on draped cloth with sewing machine stitching drawing us into the pirate’s lair, and a couple of white porcelain sea creatures that confound the imagination engage us further and energize the rooms, they were also part of this art exhibition.
