The solo exhibition of Mark Santos titled I’m Angry, But What Now? deals with the artist’s struggle to reconcile the ongoing battle of opinions with the collective effort to do the right thing. He illustrates how being right has overtaken what is good. We find his child-like Sasquatch creations on different levels of anger, doubt, and distancing; the artist seems to want us to confront the pitfalls of a disjointed society. I’m Angry, But What Now? features acrylic on canvas, pencil illustrations, and his signature Wanderer vinyl toy.
