The face pictured above, Incident #2 – Government Approved, was fashioned by the late self-taught artist David Wojnarowicz with acrylic and collaged paper on composition board. Following are several more faces in a variety of media that I’ve recently captured in a range of largely alternative art spaces:
Harlem-based Guy Woodard, Untitled, 2014, Ballpoint pen on paper — as seen at Howl! in the East Village
Yonkers-based multi-disciplinary artist Michael Cuomo, Untitled, 2018, Oil pastel & Indian ink on bristol paper — as seen in his YOHO studio
Queens-based Robert Chin, Untitled, 2005, Acrylic on vinyl — as seen at the Creedmoor Living Museum
NYC-based self-taught painter Erik Hanson, Underpass, Oil on canvas — as seen at Postmasters in Tribeca
Multidisciplinary artist John Tursi, Untitled, Mixed media — as seen at the Creedmoor Living Museum
The late Pacific Northwest First Nations artist Beau Dick, Ghost of Christmas Presents, 2016, Mixed media — as seen at White Columns in the West Village
