Critically acclaimed artist Alfredo Scaroina continues to thrill with his striking sense of artistry. The Dominican Republic-born artist brings a unique flair to his artwork that might be a bit confusing to the untrained eye. His latest exhibit “Resilience,” which was recently seen at Unix Gallery, is a collection of colorful pieces made from materials brought overseas from his homeland. What’s really interesting about the materials is that they specifically come from children’s clothing fabrics. All of his raw materials used in this exhibit have been previously worn as well.

Scaroina is well known for his artwork throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe. Many would say that he is indeed an experimental artist who utilizes his artwork to display the way multiculturalism has an effect on art and society in general.
