Joseph Carini is a master carpet maker who creates contemporary carpets reviving ancient techniques. “I have always loved the imagery and color of graffiti and the pleasure of coming upon it in an unexpected place. This was a way to merge my interest in street art and my dedication to fine carpets.”
Fifty unique carpets have been hand woven in Nepal and will be on display beginning April 23, 2014 in the Carini Lang showroom in TriBeCa.

From the gallery: Bleecker Street Arts Club is pleased to celebrate a group of artists brought together by the enthusiastic passion of one collector, Keith Miller. The link between CRASH, Tom Slaughter, Ronnie Cutrone, Scott Kilgour, and Michael De Feo lies beneath the surface of their art. Each artist is linked to the zeitgeist of the events that were transpiring in the 1980s New York art scene: the years when creativity and flash ruled the streets.

On Thursday, April 24, 2014:
It was a time when Graffiti was making its way onto the gallery walls, and Andy Warhol was the six degrees of separation of the art world. Art was changing and it was selling, and young collectors like Keith Miller were among the first to see the potential and importance of the new art coming from the streets influenced by the idea of Neo-Pop.
