Nicaraguan-born artist and poet Franck de las Mercedes has redefined contemporary art through his signature "Popstract Expressionism"—a fusion of abstract expressionism, pop art, and primal Nicaraguan influences. His compositions explode with vivid colors, angular linework, and layered textures, often reflecting childhood memories, familial themes, and socio-political commentary. Now based in Washington Heights, his latest collection of Popstract portraits is on view at AOTA NYC’s East Village Creative Space, offering an intimate look at his thought-provoking approach to storytelling through visual art. -- Matthew Kennedy, Resident Magazine Read More
