Opening Reception for Dwayne Boone's Art Gallery

Tonight was the opening reception for Dwayne Boone's solo exhibition at Space 1026. Check out www.space1026.com for more details. All photos by Bonnie Squires.

Dwayne Boone's Art Gallery - opens this Friday

Artist Dwayne Boone of Philadelphia Developmental Disabilities Corporation (PDDC) will be having his first solo exhibition at Space 1026 Gallery this April. A prolific painter, Boone will be showing over 150 portraits, landscapes, wildlife paintings, and several sculptural works, all created within the last year. Boone will also be creating a large, site-specific mural in the gallery space. Boone, who was recently featured on Channel 6 news uses his paintings to create a world both gritty and magical - and his work emerges as distinctly Philadelphian.

Dwayne Boone's artistic talent has been recognized by many in the disabilities field, but this is the first exhibition for Boone that is strictly based on the quality of his artistic style and vision. Boone's fresh, folk art style and love of topical subjects, makes for a perfect match for the Space 1026 gallery. Please join us on First Friday, April 2nd from 6-10pm, for the reception and to meet the artist.
