If you are lucky enough to be anywhere near Milano Italy you wont want to miss taking a look at this show with Veteran Abstract Artist Marco “Pho” Grassi and Abstract Figurative painter Jaybo Monk. We have featured and interviewed Jaybo Monk so you know how talented i feel he is and i wish i could see this show in person. Looking at the pictures that Marco Posted on his facebook the show is beyond impressive. The pairing is a perfect compliment in style and pallete. Marco’s textured abstract work is mesmerizing in photo’s and im sure in person only could add more depth to the already many layers he uses in his work. Jaybo is his extradorinary self and his ability to keep pushing his painterly style forward is a treat to watch unfold. Thanks to Marco Grassi’s facebook for the Photo’s. You can see more pictures on his page which i linked below.
