Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack will have a solo exhibition with the gallery opening March 18. We are so excited for the magic he’ll create! Gaitor-Lomack is a self-taught artist and current resident at NXTHVN. He says of his practice, “My artwork is influenced by my freedom, inner child, and society; believing in the journey of who I am and where I want to go in the world; memories and the colors in my mind that take shape, form, and sound whenever I am faced with a positive or negative experience.” Image: Portrait of the artist with his piece “Edith.” #lylesandking #danieltgaitorlomack #contemporaryart #sculpture #performance #contenporarysculpture
