Victor Bokas: A Bold & Colorful Journey

Into this mix he frequently uses imagery inspired by his vintage flea market collection as well as his Greek heritage, often incorporating classical sculptures and columns into his paintings and collages. The exhibition will debut an exciting selection of Bokas' newest paintings and mixed-media works created over the last two years. Featured will be more than 30 colorful palm tree variations, 60 collages celebrating the artists' birthday, bird cages decorated with flowers, and large collages.
