Openings: Patrick Martinez – “FORBIDDEN FRUIT” @ New Image Art

Posted by sleepboy, April 16, 2015

Last week at New Image Art in Los Angeles, the versatile Patrick Martinez unveiled new mixed media works with a show entitled FORBIDDEN FRUIT. The fresh work combines his signature neon light technique with sculpture & painting, taking inspiration from things like hip hop and minority culture.
