Currently on view at Kreate Hub is an exuberant exhibition featuring a diverse range of distinctly stylish work by the hugely talented Puerto Rico-born, Bronx-based artist Sen2 Figueroa. With its swooping visual rhythms, striking lines and infectious energy, Sen2’s ever-evolving aesthetic seduces the viewer’s eyes — as it blurs the boundaries between, graffiti, pop art and fine art.

The image featured above was fashioned with mixed media on canvas. Several more images on view in “El Bronx” follow:

Back in NYC, in the place he calls “home,” Bisco Smith — the first artist in residency at Okay Space — has been busy!  At work during one of the most tumultuous weeks in the history of our country, the artist proposed that creating his newest body of work, MANIFEST, helped “center” him, as he strives to find “the goodness amidst the chaos.”  This past Friday, MANIFEST was unveiled at Okay Space at 281 North 7th Street.  Here are several images captured shortly before it officially opened to the public:
