The fourth installment of the NEW FRONTIERS Series for Contemporary Art, Poodles & Pastries (and Other Important Matters): New Paintings by Franco Mondini-Ruiz presents a site-specific installation of approximately 1,000 small-scale paintings, most measuring 8 x 10 inches. Poodles, Parisian icons, pastries, cupcakes, chandeliers, couples, and fashionable women appear on canvases, embodying a visual extravaganza of imagery. Quick brushstrokes offset by vibrant colors of pink and blue capture spontaneity reminiscent of fashion illustrations. Witty titles evoke the poetic voice and humor of the artist. In essence, these paintings become miniature utopias to behold.
