Paintings by longtime East Village resident Walter Salas-Humara are on view through Saturday at 14BC Gallery. 

Here's more about the show, "Guardians and Realms" ... 

Horses have long been seen as mystical creatures, embodying a deep connection to the spirit world. In many cultures, they are regarded as guides between realms, their power and grace representing freedom, intuition, and strength. Horses are believed to carry messages from ancestors and spirits, acting as symbols of transformation and healing. Their wild, untamed energy mirrors the vast mysteries of the unseen world, making them both guardians and companions on spiritual journeys, helping souls traverse the boundaries of the physical and ethereal planes.

You can read more about the art and music of Salas-Humara, perhaps best known for his work in the rock band The Silos, here. 

"Guardians and Realms" is open for viewing tomorrow through Saturday from 3-7 p.m. at the gallery, 626 E. 14th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C.
