Equinox Bar & Gallery’s former manager Anthony Mrugacz has recently turned his considerable energies towards painting, and has put together his first exhibition, Imperfection – Flowers in Motion that has its inspiration in a trip to the town of Brześć Kujawski back in 1999. “I went to Poland to discover my roots,” he says, “And came back with flowers.” His take on the folk art of his ancestors blends with the starkness of the Texan desert, creating strong and emblematic images of growth and floral beauty. The works are now on display – and on sale – at Palm Tours and Travel Café on St 278 (opposite the old Equinox). Anthony will be present on Sunday 12 from 3 pm – 8 pm. “Please join me as I display my very first works and witness my attempt at being a starving artist.”
