The Spanish artist, Mercedes Gonzalez de Garay, will be 
introducing her mixed media project 'Gypsy Time', which 
introduces her street art- to-canvas style. Working with 
stencil, spray, acrylics, painting, drawing and collage, 
Mercedes will demonstrate technique and concept. 'Gypsy Time' 
creates a discourse about the direction of our society and how 
artists can comment upon and invoke social change. On canvas, 
tradition and modernity are mixed, creating an image collage, 
in which objects and out of context poses, generate an ironic 
point of view. 'Gypsy Time' is funny and bittersweet at the 
same time. The workshop will be open to everyone.
 
This workshop is for all ages.
