Justin Favela brings his inventive piñata-style art to three major Denver galleries this summer

Justin Favela | Ray Mark Rinaldi, The Denver Post

"Like most of Favela's piñata pieces, [Ghostin'] is full of fantasy, running floor-to-ceiling and overwhelming viewers with shapes and texture.

But the piece is more dream-like and abstract than his best-known public works. It gives viewers hints of what it might be while letting them fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. The works at DBG and the future piece at DAM will offer a direct, visceral appeal. The work at David B. Smith is more artful, in that way that we expect contemporary art to challenge and excite us."
