What is RISO Silkscreen?
CURRENT EXHIBITION
Keepsakes is a collection of work by Kiko Bordeos and Alexis Gallo that
capture and preserve moments in time. Through the use of grids and vibrant colors the canvas acts as a record and container for experiences and emotions, making the intangible, tangible. These process based arrangements allow for play and spontaneity that create a dialogue of past and present self that is
reflective, energetic, and immediate.
