Alex Beard "Monkey See Monkey Draw"
Clic Bookstore & Gallery (255 Centre St.)
This event has ended.
Born in 1970, New York native Alex Beard grew up in a household of artists and authors, including his uncle, photographer Peter Beard, and his mother Patricia Beard, an author and former editor for Town & Country, Elle, and Mirabella magazines. Beard's exuberantly colorful animal paintings can be seen in his children's books JUNGLE GRAPEVINE and MONKEY SEE MONKEY DRAW. His joyous works bypass naturalism in favor of a dizzying, fantastical world.
Beard currently owns studios in New York and New Orleans, where he leads art workshops for children.
Original paintings from MONKEY SEE MONKEY DRAW, his forthcoming book for children, will be on display at the gallery. Beard will also be signing copies of his previous book JUNGLE GRAPEVINE at the show’s opening reception.
