MINI MALL MARKET in brooklyn
If you’re around, step in Mini Mall Market and go straight to the back!
Then, in front of your amazed eyes, expect a real surprise for those who are fan of big racing machine!
In fact this is not really my case, therefore taking time for a flash back memory on some of the most mythical films: Easy Rider, Back to the future, Batman or even K2000… I feel like i’m going to see Hooper’s shadow! Rest in peace Dennis.

SEBASTIAN GROSS OSSA homeland

Recently, I visited my friend Sebastian Gross and his painting studio in Brooklyn to check out a serie he had been working on. Upon walking in, I was greeted by his cat and a glass of prosecco. I spoke to Ossa, regarding his number one influence, german artist Neo Rauch (whose work echoes industrial evolution in urban landscapes) as well as painting influences (deriving from Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism), style ranging whenever devised and felt necessary. Within his studio process, Ossa uses real time photographs taken on location, particularly of those in his life and scales them on his stretched canvas. He then creates a luminous atmosphere of great heights, improvised activities, industrial layouts, branding and advertisement overload (his signature is Anti-Gravity), various architectures, and Fifth-Element like vehicles, including flying FedEx automobiles and spaceships (for the thread of conversation regarding modern civilization).
— Born in Chile, Sebastian Gross Ossa now works and lives in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, located in Brooklyn, NY.
— He was previously represented by Pablo’s Birthday art gallery located in downtown Manhattan.
