Currently on view in Long Island City is
Diverse Visions of Reality, an exhibit of works by 11 of today's top representational artists. Curated by
Federico Castelluccio, an Italian-born artist known for his Baroque-inspired paintings - and also for his acting portrayal of the recurring character Furio Giunta in the HBO series
The Sopranos - the exhibit features two works each by fellow artists whom Castelluccio greatly admires, including
Nelson Shanks, Patricia Watwood, David Brega, Humberto Aquino, Scott Nickerson, Steven Assael, Will Wilson, Mario Robinson, Katie O'Hagan, and
Christopher Pugliese. The show is being held in honor of the one-year anniversary of the opening of the
Diego Salazar Art Gallery, an offshoot of
Diego Salazar Frames, which specializes in antique, museum-quality frames from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Diverse Visions of Reality opened on April 4th, and will run through May 4th, 2013. The
Diego Salazar Art Gallery is located 21-25 44th Avenue in Long Island City, New York. Viewing hours are from 11:00 AM until 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Saturdays. For more information, please visit the gallery's
