Draws His Face Around NYC 4-2-2010, New York – When I take a walk in the city I see a lot of faces. Hardly ever am I encountered with thousands of drawn faces by an artist. Today I found myself stepping over a new face every foot of my walk on Park Avenue in the low 20′s drawn by artist Felix Morelo.
I entered the path of faces at about number 1,860. I knew this because Felix Morelo was kind enough to write the number and his name every 10 faces. Every once in a while he circled an area and designated it a “good luck spot.” Check out the pictures for the good luck spot after face 1,205 and other numerical milestones. Come to think of it I even saw them somewhere else earlier in the day, but was in too much of a hurry filming with Seamus Brown to stop and photograph them.
After the film shoot I hurried over to Cheim and Read for a glorious viewing of Donald Baechler’s most recent work. The work was sexy, refreshing, and bold. Huge layered/collaged paintings and epic bronze metal sculptures. I should probably write another blog post just on that show. Go check it out!
Thanks Felix.
