Some of the most arresting portraits I saw were in Krylon on walls in the Miami Design District. They led me to track down more work by the 27 year old Argentine Artist Santiago Rubino. His striking portraits in charcoal and pen of cool, dark haired almost anime inspired females are the result of downsizing so they would fit on paper. Wall sized and graffitti-ed on the side of a building in the Design District these portraits struck a note of almost cognitive dissonance in the Miami streetscape. Though I liked the building sized ones the best and may someday commission one on a wall they come as I later found out in smaller sizes in pen and charcoal. The seem to have caught other eyes since most were sold out by the time I made it to the the Spinello Gallery booth at Scope. Priced between $800-$1200.
