We can thank the Brits for introducing us to the world of pop art, the bright and colorful artistic movement that came about in the mid 1950s in England. The United States jumped on the wagon a few years later, giving us Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns in the 1960s. Now included in that mashup is Romero Britto, a Brazilian born, self-taught artist who took the art scene by storm. Britto will be bringing his extraordinary collection to Northport’s LaMantia Gallery from July 15 through 23, showing guests his life in vivid color.
The excitement of meeting Celebrity Artist Romero Britto and seeing his work brought VIP’s, special guests and the press to the Gallery of Music and Art, in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.
So much for the tortured-artist stereotype.
One look at artist Romero Britto’s work and you know the cliche definitely doesn’t apply to him.
Britto visits Off the Wall Gallery in the Galleria this weekend to share posters, limited-edition prints and sculptures that exude his signature brand of eye-popping happiness.
A collection by world-renowned artist Romero Britto will be on exhibition and available for acquisition at Off the Wall Gallery. The exhibition will feature a series of live artist Appearances.
