My current artwork is about confining, containing and isolating the personal narrative of my life inside the shape and form of the cube. This is an attempt to create a solid foundation of order and stability where these chaotic experiences, feelings and memories can be played out, explored and analyzed. It is also an attempt to establish a concise and clear continuity of the artwork through the repetition of the same cube form over and over again.

prescribed procedure for the obsessive-compulsive
Project description: To draw a continuous trail of individual chalk faces approximately 8 inches in diameter and 12 inches apart from each other on the sidewalks of New York City beginning at the south corner of 14th street and 10th Avenue and ending at the south corner of 14th street and Avenue C.
One aim of this project is to make the public aware of how an obsessive-compulsive behavior can be a prescribed procedure used to show the transient and ephemeral qualities of time, while manipulating space through marks on this earth.

(s)files at Lehman College

el Museo (s)files at Lehman College Gallery. On view until January 2012
El Museo del Barrio’s sixth biennial features the most innovative, cutting-edge art created by Latino, Caribbean, and Latin American artists currently working in the greater New York area. This year’s edition takes on a broad exploration of the visual energy, events, and aesthetics of the street. The exhibition spreads all over the city, showcasing a record 75 emerging artists at seven venues.
The installation at Lehman features imagery by a number of artists that share an affinity for illustration and the narrative force of images. Thinking of the exhibition as a picturesque walk through the city, it conceptualizes the street as a kind of visual library; an opportunity to sample people, objects, costumes, and cityscapes.

“As a continuation of Repertorium films viral series “PORTRAITS” which looks into the great upcoming NYC artists, we had the chance this time to work with Artist Felix Morelo, this is a spec of his work, from his oil paints in NYC galleries to his street art on the side walks of NYC Felix makes more than one smile or turn to perceive different stories on the sidewalks.”

Faces in Chelsea

felixmorelo — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:17:15 +0000

“Felix Morelo- artist, local eccentric, and drawer of small faces. And there he was in Chelsea on Saturday. He drew a line of small faces from 20th to 30th street along 10th Avenue, dragging himself on a milk crate as he drew his way down the street, cold hands covered in chalk. Each face is different, there are distinct characters in the rudimentary chalk visages. Some of them give a talk balloon shout-out to the passers-by who stop and talk to Felix while he works. ‘Hello, Thinley!’, ‘Hello Heather!’, they exclaim.” Photos and text by Pearl Diving.
