SUMMARY:Ion Studio presents: Once Upon a Graffiti by Helene Mukhtar
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception, Thursday, December 3rd, from 7PM to 9PM
 \n\nContinuing on her exploration of the graffiti idiom, Helene Mukhta
 r presents her latest mixed media paintings based on photographs of gr
 affiti she took in New York, Paris and Berlin.\n\nThese elements, coll
 aged onto the canvas and sometimes combined with photographs of archit
 ectural details, become the basis of her creative exploration. They fo
 rm an abstract urban landscape around which she develops her narrative
 . Reflecting on events in Gaza, Iran or war in general, the artist wor
 ks with acrylic paint and magic markers to create compelling, sometime
 s humorous, complex images, enriched with bright, muscular colors.\n\n
 The collage elements are like a puzzle, says Mukhtar about her work pr
 ocess, it is up to me to integrate them into a harmonious visual state
 ment. I proceed through trial and error. It becomes an obsession and I
  do not stop until I have achieved my goal.\n\nHelene Mukhtar received
  her MFA from Florida State University. Her work has been exhibited th
 roughout the United States and France. Recent exhibitions include the 
 Agora Gallery, Icosahedron Gallery, Art Gotham, the National Arts Club
  in New York City, and solo shows at 440 Gallery in Brooklyn and Galer
 ie ArtSud in Toulouse, France.\n\nFor more information visit http://ww
