New York, NY, United States, 10/11/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/
New York, United States, Oct. 05, 2017– In an attempt to take art to the people en masse – and promote the world’s largest group exhibit of surreal art — Portuguese surrealist painter Santiago Ribeiro is teasing the public with flash images of his work in the most famous intersection of the world: Times Square.
Ribeiro’s vivid, colorful paintings will be shown sporadically – flashed on random days at random times — on the Nasdaq OMX Group screen in New York City until Dec. 31, 2017. They will be up for three whole minutes on the Reuter’s screen for each appearance – ample time for tens of thousands of pedestrians to catch a glimpse.
“As always I’m doing something different and the idea to exhibit in Times Square in New York shows how the mass media are our modern means to show our art,” Ribeiro said.
The Times Square pieces are part of the International Surrealism Now group exhibit, an ongoing project that Ribeiro began in 2010 to showcase the work of surrealist artists from all over the world. He conceived the International Surrealism Now movement in Coimbra with a major exhibit organized by Bissaya Barreto.
As Ribeiro continues planning the project’s next phase, he is testing innovative exhibition spaces such as Times Square. His ambition for Winter 2018 is to launch the largest world exhibition of contemporary Surrealism art in Europe. The initial exhibit of paintings, drawings, digital art, photographs and sculpture — with more than 100 artists from 48 countries participating — is expected to be shown at several museums, monuments and public spaces throughout Portugal.
Ribeiro’s work has been featured at the U.S. embassy in Lisbon, in the Portuguese American Journal, in Digital Meets Culture, Pravda in Portuguese, Diario de Notícias de Madeira, Campeão das Províncias, República Portuguesa, Global.pt; Spain’s Pressenza; France’s Le Parisien, Bel 7 Infos and 75 Agende Cuturel; Don 411 News, Bulgaria’s Novosiane and many other publications. His sponsors include Bissaya Barreto Foundation, Condeixa a Nova House Mayor and MagicCraftsman Studio.
One of Ribeiro’s paintings is on display at Paris’ Galerie JPHT until September 23rd, alongside the work of major surrealist artists from Japan and France.
