My Plastic Heart NYC
[display_podcast]
My Plastic Heart NYC is a toy store and a gallery. Every two month, it holds a different exhibit. Most of their exhibitions relate to the world of cartoon. The current display is called Adrift, which is a duo exhibit of two artists Scott Campbell and Leontine Greenberg. The exhibit mainly focuses on the idea of adventure in the air. Both artists drew various creatures whose purpose is to take it’s viewers on an adventure to a world unknown to humans. Both artists mainly used watercolor for their paintings, but one can spot the different techniques that each artists uses. Leontine Greenberg’s paintings mainly focused on light colors and animals to guide the journey, while Scott Campbell uses mainly dark colors and clouds as his adventure in the air. Even with the differences, both paintings bring their viewers on a unique journey in the skies accompanying by clouds and creature. However viewing these adventures may be free, but purchasing even one will hurt one’s wallet. I guess all adventures and vacations are expensive.

I love these paintings! I think it is very interesting how most of them look similar even though they have different artists.
The paintings are so nice! These days you don’t see water colors being used for professional paintings often but I love the sense of “airyness” and the delicate pictures water colors produce.
I loved your podcast, especially the music! The music fit so perfectly with the dream-like paintings. You truly conveyed the idea the artist were trying to put across in their works by taking the your viewer on a journey into a mystical world unknown to humans. My favorite were Leontine Greenberg’s paintings!
I love the fact that My Plastic Heart is not only an art gallery but a toy store. The fact that they marry the two just shows that art can be playful and fun and that it shouldn’t be so serious.
