Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Edgar Alejandro Gamez Sosa is an accomplished street artist and abstract painter who routinely sells his Phoenix-inspired canvases that feature a mixture of graffiti and Southwest abstract art. Sosa’s art exhibition, Art of Life, Art of Love, will be on display at The Gallery at The Madison from Aug. 11 to Dec. 22, 2023.

Arizonans are invited to attend the gallery opening of Sosa’s show, Art of Life, Art of Love, on Aug. 11 at 6 p.m. in the lobby of The Madison Center for the Arts. This celebration will include a meet and greet with Sosa, a first look at his art show, a performance from local band, Dead City Revival at 7 p.m., and a chance to watch Sosa paint live. 

Sosa’s artistic style is inspired by his graffiti roots and love for Arizona’s nature and culture. Graffiti was his expressive outlet as a young artist and now that has transformed his current style of abstract cacti. He uses many layers of color, lines, and texture in his work to help express the beauty of street art meeting the Arizona desert.

The Gallery at The Madison is located in the lobby at The Madison Center for the Arts, which is located at 5601 N. 16^th St. Phoenix, AZ 85016.
