CID MENDEZ
Life is Beautiful
Sep 20 - Oct 5
Life is Beautiful represents the current works of Cuban-American
Artist Cid Mendez. Drawing from the themes of health, peace and
fortitude, his pieces range from custom
furniture and light installations to
recycled paper-mixed media art and belt buckle jewelry. The collection
is
dominated by his application of stained glass in a mosaic technique.
Cid Mendez has lived in the Hudson County, NJ area since his arrival
from Cuba in 1980. A self-taught artist, Cid has worked in different
materials and has recently focused on working with glass.
Continuing our tradition of representing local Cuban artists, we are
thrilled to be the first venue for the public to view these works. The opening reception is Saturday, Sep 20, 5pm-9pm.
