FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cPrimary\u00a0Obverse\u201d by Marco Gallotta and Bruno Big at One Art Space Gallery<\/b><\/p>\n

Portraiture as Subject: A Unique Exhibition Featuring Visionaries<\/p>\n

Opening Reception June 17, 2016 (6-9pm) On View Until June 27th, 2016 23 Warren St, New York, NY 10007<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cPrimary\u00a0Obverse\u201d<\/b>, is a two-person exhibition featuring individual and collaborative works from\u00a0Marco Gallotta\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Bruno Big\u00a0<\/b>that investigate the power and importance of the portrait. This exhibition includes artwork that features change-makers, everyday heroes and people who have influenced their communities and our world in positive and powerful ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Although working in different media, Gallotta’s paper-cutting technique along with Big\u2019s graffiti style and engraving work seamlessly together. Through their work, Gallotta and Big celebrate the importance of the icons and influencers they depict. Gallotta\u2019s signature paper cutting technique uses geometric shapes, such as circles, triangles and rectangles. The rigid shapes become irregular and organic, enriched with soft curves alternating with sharp angles. Big uses contemporary techniques such as graffiti, digital illustration and experimental printmaking. \u201cPrimary\u00a0Obverse\u201d is a concept in which the observer discovers the commonality among each of the icons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0A percentage of \u201cPrimary\u00a0Obverse\u201d proceeds will be donated to the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a commitment to reach students, educators and individuals, nationally and internationally, and provide them with a simple, yet profound formula for choosing love.\u00a0https:\/\/chooselovemovement.org<\/a>\/<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0Marco Gallotta\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is an Italian-born, New York City-based artist. He received his associate’s degree in fashion illustration and a bachelor\u2019s degree in general illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology. He grew up in Italy, before moving to New York City in 1998. His artistic craft consists mostly of paper-cutting techniques, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Today, Marco resides with his wife and daughter in New York City, where he finds inspiration in its urban-scape, distinct artistic facets, and diverse population. He currently practices his craft in an intimate studio workshop in West Harlem. His vast expertise in mixed media techniques, including drawing, painting, and printmaking, add to his work a unique combination of artisan\u00a0craftsmanship and graphic sensibility. Watercolors, inks, and graphite are applied to photographs that are then cut out. Layers of cut-out photographs,paper and other materials are\u00a0 strategically overlapped to create ingenious compositions.\u00a0www.marcogallotta.net<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Born in 1980,\u00a0Bruno Big\u00a0<\/b>lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After training there as an advertising creative and an engraver, in 2006 he moved to Barcelona, where he studied at The University of Barcelona Faculty of Fine Arts while also perfecting his graffiti style. A multi- talented artist, he then returned to Rio where, even in the midst of a thriving street art scene, he soon made a name for himself as a street artist while also exhibiting in galleries – all this alongside his continuing work in advertising. Bruno is an explorer, forever seeking out new ways to create. Much of Big\u2019s works has been created for campaigns with brands such as Coca- Cola, Farm, Brazil Canal, RedBull, Rider, Nike and others. With Nike, Big has a long-standing partnership. Big has developed many projects and products for the brand and his largest to date was developing the Neymar Jr. Collection\u00a0 “Ousadia and Alegria” for Nike.\u00a0 Big painted a giant canvas of 1,000 shoeboxes to publicize the “Ousadia Alegria” launch, delivering the first pair to Neymar Jr. personally. The Ousadia and Alegria collection, which includes training apparel and two Nike Sportswear footwear silhouettes are available at\u00a0nike.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0At present, Big chooses to dedicate more time painting.\u00a0www.brunobig.com<\/a><\/p>\n
