I am dreXeL. I thought you knew…

The gallery I had my very first show in Brooklyn in, Gitana Rosa Gallery, is now closed. Vanessa Liberati, who ran the gallery will still be curating, but the physical space, so popular for so long, won’t be at 19 Hope Street anymore. That gallery is extremely special to me, as is its owner. I really feel like Vanessa got me started in the art scene in Brooklyn and I’ll always be grateful to her for that. I look forward to many more years working with Vanessa, and hereby say a bittersweet goodbye to my first gallery in NYC.

Here’s a shot of the closing show, just to show the pure awesome that went on at this gallery. Art, artists, musicians, Pernod. What could be better And there’s Devendra Banhart, front and center. What a star.
