“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald
The embrace of a friend, the warmth of family, the touch of a lover – we crave closeness in all its forms. From the very moment we are born, intimacy keeps us alive. Those closest to us speak not only to our hearts, they nourish the mind and fuel the body. There can be intimacy among strangers, too. A glance shared, without words, that somehow connects us to one who sits outside our circle of affinity and yet seems somehow to fit neatly into the path in that
moment.

street art with graffiti artists on the panel in order to clear up misconceptions about the medium. There will also be art cars on site during the exhibition. To hear more about this show, Coraggio’s work and in particular street art, listen to the complete interview.
