Annette is excited to be opening for The Silos' Walter Salas-Humara,https://www.waltersalashumara.com/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/walter-salas-humara-tickets-1985646391810 Having first moved to New York in 1982 to pursue a career in the visual arts, and having completed a year of graduate work at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, Salas-Humara found steady work with the Leo Castelli Gallery during the ‘80s Manhattan art boom. Citing as his heroes ‘50s minimalist painter Ellsworth Kelly and Pop artist Jasper Johns, Salas-Humara’s early paintings were post modernist combinations of large abstract color fields and expressionist imagery. His art career was cut short with the success of his rock band The Silos three years later.
