FASHION, FLATTERY AND THE FLOWERS OF MICHAEL DE FEO @ DANZIGER GALLERY

Untitled (Alicia Vikander by Patrick Demarchelier for Louis Vuitton), 2016; Painted Prints by Michael De Feo at Danziger Gallery

Known as the 'The Flower Guy,' Michael De Feo's fondness of floral and fashion icons foster feminine flattery--most recently on the walls of Danziger Gallery in NY's Lower East Side. In a sponsored showing of style, 34 print ads--embellished with painted plants--camouflage some of the world's top talent. Keep reading for a look at De Feo's marriage of street art and spirited style ...

Having taught public school art classes for 15 years, De Feo's belief that art is participatory and shareable translates into streetscapes spanning the last 20 years. Not only do the familiar flora garnish galleries globally, De Feo's work is searchable on the streets of LA, Miami, Paris, Venice, Buenos Aires and Hong Kong. The current exhibit remains on display for one month at Dazinger's 95 Irvington Street location from July 13 to August 12th 2016, while a simultaneous installation is on display in the windows of Rice Gallery in Houston, TX until August 28th. Stop by to see Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Kate Moss and other notable names in 'street style' of a different sense.
