Using materials he has on hand, such as the innards of a discarded TV, postal envelopes, playing cards, or domino pieces, the detritus of our homes find
new life and new meaning in Jose Rivera's obsessive and labyrinthine creations. An acoustic guitar completely covered in broken pieces of crayon is
transformed into a colorful, and lyrical three dimensional mosaic. Within his collages, visual poetry is created using words cut out of advertisements,
scratch-off lottery tickets, subway maps, and candy bar wrappers.
This will be Jose Rivera's first solo exhibition, which includes sculpture, mixed media collages and works on paper.
