CHRISTIAN MICHAEL GALLEGOS
Christian Michael Gallegos is an artist with many large-scale murals in the Albuquerque area, including an installation in the lobby of the City of Albuquerque's Arts & Culture Department. His works are a colorfully exuberant melding of imagery from his childhood in the urban environment of New York City and his New Mexican roots and reflect both experience as a street artist and a graphics and fine art education at the Bronx Community College. Through his paintings, Christian presents new ideas, inspiration, and messages for his audience. Ghostwolf invites you to meet the artist this first Friday ARTScrawl. See you there!
