Opening Reception, Mark Giaimo: The Secret Life of Toys

January 22nd, 2016 at 06:00 PM | FREE | gallery@callowayart.com | Tel: 2029654601 | Event Website](https://www.facebook.com/events/1514719101878012/)

Whether painting still lifes of cheap plastic toys, portraits of friends, city landscape and plein air paintings, or political caricatures, Giaimo mixes the mundane with the sacred, 19th-century painting techniques with contemporary pulp and graphic illustration, that is both an homage to and satire of the past and present. His new paintings explore the mysterious pastimes of toys—their invisible struggles with life, death, and love.
