Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, February 4, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Geri Caban describes his art as “a distinctive blend between pop art and expressionism.” He says, “Painting is my passion, and I love to create and mix new ideas onto a blank canvas to discover what the end result becomes. Each work of art is special in its own way. I express my feelings through my work and strive to make each piece unique and pleasing to the eye.”
Geri studied at Ramapo College and is a graduate of Parsons School of Design. During his time in college, he began to develop a passion for painting. In his spare time, to earn some extra money as a college student, as well as for practice, he would do commissioned art pieces. After his success in college, Geri had a career in the health industry, which he describes as causing “an on-and-off, 20-year impediment in my art career.” He has since found inspiration in his craft again after a decades-long hiatus, and is flourishing in his acrylic-based portraits.
