Mat Gleason says, “I'm excited to curate this show as the built-in audience for Dave's work gives me a chance to put gallery-going on their 2014 to-do list. The robots are perfect because they have a foundation Pop art but are also really portraiture, really archetypes of various elements of the human condition. There is a reduction to the highest common denominator among us and in that they are more sophisticated than a lot of the copycat contemporary art being churned out by the local MFA diploma mills.”
Dave Pressler has a large and diverse body of work, ranging from paintings to vinyl collectible toys. The X-Mas Pop Up shop will be a treat for robot-lovers, art nerds and long- time Pressler fans, alike. Tis’ the season for robots!
