New Works by Celebrated Dutch Graffiti Artist
Eric Firestone Gallery
TARPESTRIES is an exhibition of more than 20 new large scale works - ranging from 7 to 25 feet - by the venerable Dutch graffiti artist Futura. Done in his self-described "Van Wrinkle" style, and spread over two neighboring galleries, these paint-saturated industrial tarps are singularly vivid and vibrant.

ABOUT
Presented across Eric Firestone Gallery’s locations in East Hampton will be more than twenty unstretched paintings that are highly expressive and richly layered. These compositions are filled with precisely rendered lines and symbols, saturated mists of color, and gestural brushstrokes. They will be juxtaposed with a monumental bronze sculpture of “39 Meg": a quasi-alien, quasi-robot figure that FUTURA2000 has repeatedly depicted.
