The Continuing Travels of AmiUnderground: Drawings from the NYC Subway System / Opening Reception November 5, 2010

Ripped (well not literally) from the pages of his sketchbook, Bk based artist Ami (short for Amitai, ahh-mee-tie) Plasse presents his favorites from the menagerie of characters and moments he has captured during his daily travels throughout the New York City subway system. His work is driven by the unbelievable spectrum of personas that one encounters on the train and acts both as an inspiration to his other work as well as catharsis for someone who is dealing with everyday pressures of family and professional life. ***Although Ami has been drawing on the train on-and-off for the last 13 years, the body of work represents his most prolific period from 2008 to the present. It consists of prints, animation studies and some original drawings.
