A new mural on 12th and C



The 12C Outdoor Art Gallery on Avenue C at East 12th Street is featuring new work by Peruvian artist Diana Contreras, who created the mural on the roll-down gate yesterday as part of the Fridge Art Fair.

According to her bio, the Miami-based Contreras' "work deals with femininity, set in whimsical portraiture."



The gallery is curated by East Village resident Robert Galinsky and artists show panels every three months.

    Looks great! Anyone know if the space inside is still being used as a gallery?

    I love the mural by Diana Contereras. Are the outdoor murals here based on former artwork? I'd love to buy a print or canvas of the piece if I could. The fact that this is outdoor makes it more interesting, but can make the artwork harder to buy. http://www.gevik.com

    Yesterday, while Diana was painting, she had some small canvases displayed that looked as if they were for sale.
