Dig In Magazine had the amazing opportunity to be a sponsor of Fountain Art Fair New York 2012 at the Armory.

With 60 different galleries exhibiting, artists from all over the world participated in this historic event. Fountain New York was a huge success as Artlog sponsored the opening reception with Fab 5 Freddy taking the stage finishing the day with art selling off the walls. From Johnny Leo’s mural covered van to the street art murals wrapped around the building inside and out, Fountain’s exhibits were nothing short of spectacular. Tinca Art curated an amazing exhibit with artists like Rachel Monosov and Carly Ivan Garcia to just name a few. Bay Area’s favorite neo-abstract artist, Carly Ivan Garcia, showed his new work that was politically charged and made a strong statement. Dig In Magazine has been following Tinca Art over the years and once again, Catinca Tabacaru did an outstanding job of curating at Fountain.

Garcia also painted a uniquely creative mural as part of the street art exhibit along with another Bay Area star, artist Ian Ross, who left an indelible mark on Fountain’s mural walls.

Lambert Fine Arts‘ goal to “demonstrate a contemporary sophistication in their use of new media, modern technology, and complex symbolic imagery to engage viewers in a progressive and compelling social critique” was highlighted by artist, Brandon Friend’s combination of “painting, print-making, collage, and image transfer.” And Kesting/Ray, an innovative gallery and creative catalyst in New York, unveiled a great collection of artwork by Brian Leo, Swoon and more.
