Galerie x Art for Change

Since its inception in 2016, Galerie magazine has been committed to shining a light on the most promising emerging artists around the world. Art for Change connects socially conscious art collectors with in-demand contemporary artists and their work. A platform for discovery, the organization offers a curated selection of museum-quality prints and original pieces. Available for purchase, this special collaboration showcases the inspiring work of ten visionaries featured in Galerie past and present who are blazing new paths forward. For every work sold, ten trees will be planted to support global reforestation. As in all series, artists will receive 50 percent of the net proceeds of print sales.

Kenny Rivero
Walk Wit Me, 2021

Kenny Rivero’s paintings, collages, drawings and sculptures explore the complexity of identity through narrative images, language, and symbolism. Born and raised in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood, Rivero’s creative process deconstructs and reimagines what he perceives as the broken narrative of Dominican-American identity, socio-geographic solidarity, familial expectations, race, and gender roles.
