“For the artist, science is the best filter through which we can see reality, but art is the preferred means of expression,” the venue says. “Looking at his mythological creatures it’s not hard to see why; since the first time Grabelsky started to turn the people he met in the New York subway into animals, his artistic research and technique became more and more meticulous and detailed.”
