Robert Fontinelli at Feature Inc

Bodies and furniture become one in New York artist Robert Fontinelli’s huge drawings, touching on materialism and how we define our personalities through design choices.  Here in Feature, Inc’s front windows, two men merged with theater seats and each other suggest two identities becoming one.  (On the Lower East Side through Feb 16th).
