At Art Murmur there is a group show about once a month and the artist run the gamut but what was special about this show was the lack of figurative work. I was excited to see what some of the artist came up with. below is "remember" by Alex Feliciano and the flyer for the show featuring Paul Pitsker, as you can see two aproches to a seemingly simlple task.
