Gabe Mangold






I stumbled upon this jewel of an installation at MECA last Friday when I was on break from teaching. Isn't it terrific? The artist is Gabe Mangold, a painting senior. I've posted about his work before, here. I read his artist statement on the fly, but do remember that he said his work is influenced by his dreams. This piece brings to mind a chrysalis, painted hippie buses, Peter Max posters, an Egyptian tomb, Chagall's stained glass windows...

It just makes my eyeballs happy!
I like this guy...

Very cool--looks like he's reined in his creativity from his other installation--more compact, but very colorful1
