Andrea Schwartz Gallery / Patrick Dintino

Andrea Schwartz Gallery is showing Endangered Species, a solo exhibition for Patrick Dintino. The exhibition continues through February 29th.

Dintino's work is composed of broad, blended bands of color, the diffused lines in Dintino’s “spectrum paintings” produce a plethora of eye-catching tones and hues. This latest series of work is based on endangered species, to bring awareness to the impact of human forces on natural resources, but to also celebrate the rich diversity of life as represented by unique flora and fauna.
