MARTINA SECONDO RUSSO: “BATHING BEAUTIES”
Opening Saturday May 16th (7-10pm)

MF Gallery: 213 Bond St. Brooklyn, NY 11217

Martina Secondo Russo, was born in Genoa, Italy, but has lived in New York City since she was four years old.

Her art focuses on Pop-culture trends of tattoos, Pin-ups and Horror, often mixing the genres to create a dystopian look on life.

In her "Bathing Beauties" series, she depicts Italian movie stars from the 1950's-70's in iconic locations from her native region of Liguria, to create a nostalgic look into her own past. Like Wesselmann's nudes and seashore icons, she sexualizes and romanticizes the heroines of her Italian Pop culture.

Martina Secondo Russo's “Bathing Beauties” will open on Saturday May 16th from 7-10pm at MF Gallery. Meet the artist and enjoy some refreshments. Admission is free and open to all ages.

MF Gallery is located at 213 Bond St. in Brooklyn, NY. For more information, call (917)446-8681 or emial info@mfgallery.net
