    Margalit Romano

    Margalit Romano is a contemporary, self-taught artist based in New Jersey. Her work explores the life of color and how it transforms through different patterns and techniques. At first glance, Margalit’s work is mesmerising and colorful, however there is much more hidden behind the surface. The linear, and often complex stripe designs are done with straight lines created through an organic process. The paint is dripped down the surface; traditional painting tools are rarely used. This organic painting process creates a very clean visual, that clients love for their spaces.

    Margalit’s work is displayed throughout The Gray Street.
