‘Fortoul presents’ is a blowout at Damon Dash Gallery!

Gabriel Fourtol.

GF: We’re showing Isaac Fortoul my brother, Bobby Castaneda, Hector Ruiz as well as Heather Gargon and  Jeremy Wagner.

(a cursory glance at the wide expansive canvases to the left – Isaac Fortoul and to the right – Bobby Castaneda had me contemplating urban themes and the intoxication of street life with mythological references).

SCV: So what does the work represent?

GF: It’s a wake up call. It’s a reference to what’s happening around us. It’s man vs nature, vs himself, vs society.

Fast forward one day later and the crowds are thronging wildly to get inside and be part of the ethereal magic transpiring in the bi level room. One also has to congratulate the director at Damon Dash Gallery, Nyssa Frank for her astute presentation and her ability to combine verve, tension, wild color and the genteel spirit of a rambunctous audience game to also get in on the act. And just case you are wondering they managed to sell quite a few paintings, as for the ping pong game- Anthony unfortunately managed to hand me my ass…

Fortoul Presents a sell out.
