"Essence of Being. From graffiti roots to bold abstraction, Samuel E. Vázquez transforms memory and rhythm into vibrant canvases—an inaugural exhibition that channels street energy into timeless abstraction."
Essence of Being marks the inaugural exhibition of CSB Fine Arts and introduces audiences to the powerful abstractions of Samuel E. Vázquez. Emerging from the graffiti and hip-hop movements that shaped New York’s cultural landscape, Vázquez transforms rhythm, gesture, and memory into vibrant fields of color and form, offering a meditation on identity, presence, and the energy of urban life.
