The next in the series of exhibitions I coordinate at 527 Madison Avenue (at 54th Street) will showcase the work of Brooklyn-based painter Rick Siggins. The opening is Tuesday, January 13th, from 5 – 7 PM, and the show will run through May 7th, and is on view Monday – Friday, 9 – 5. Rick has shown with Feature Inc. and Marlborough Gallery. His large-scale works are made up scores of small canvases, each individually stretched, which he joins together to create abstract works of dazzling intricacy.
