"HERE" by Santi Flores

 

NYC has great outdoor art displays to keep both locals and tourists amused.  


Maybe mostly locals - since I have photographed these places for decades I am always looking for a new twist.  


This month 14 pieces of Santi Flores's sculptures are on display in the Garment District. in an exhibition called "HERE."

That's Broadway between 38th & 41st Streets.  


Which means that you are shooting with Times Square in the background.  


Needless to say the colorful waving characters are a perfect fit for the area.


And, hats off to Mr. Flores for creating tall pieces that can be juxtaposed against the surrounding architecture.  


Photographing the display made me smile.  


Apparently I'm not the only one.


 

They have been so well received that the exhibit has been extended until October 23, 2022, so there's still plenty of time to visit. :-) 


 

Here are some blogs from the Seward Johnson exhibit in the space back in 2015...
