“Urban Jungle: Making Waves, Tagging Bridges”
Group Art Show. Curated by Roland Ramos.
Presented by Antagonist Art Movement.

Niagara Bar will play host to a one night art show comprised mainly of Hudson County based artists. The group show, aptly named “Urban Jungle” is hosted by The Antagonist Movement and will take place April 17^th from 8pm till 2am in the downstairs section of Niagara Bar 112 Ave A, New York, NY 10009.

Combining street themes, contemporary art & music “Urban Jungle” bridges them all, with a twist. All participating artists reside in Hudson County, NJ; the thin strip of land due west of NYC. Highlighting this geographical distinction places emphasis on the burgeoning community of artist that exists on the periphery of the sacrosanct New York art scene.

Graffiti influences much of the displayed art. Artist’s WASE , SCET, and Hyphen-One bring credibility to the emergence of a contemporary art movement based on graffiti art applied to traditional canvas. Photographers Emily Anne Epstein, Camilo Godoy, Robert David, & Roxana Marroquin bring a documentation perspective to street art, capturing the “Flavor” of the streets. The cast of participating Hudson County artists include Amy Bauer, Caridad Rivera, Isaac Fortoul, Gordon Fraser, & Felix Gosse.

Participating artists: Amy Bauer, Caridad Rivera, Isaac Fortoul, Gordon Fraser, Felix Gosse, Emily Anne Epstein, Camilo Godoy, Robert David, Roxana Marroquin, WASE , SCET, and Hyphen-One
