SHELTER SERRA – AVAILABLE WORK

Born Bolinas, CA, 1972
Lives and works in New York, NY

California native and New York-based artist Shelter Serra transforms his ideas into a wide range of media from drawing and print to sculpture and video. His work investigates our culture’s relationship to objects of status and how advertising diversifies consumption, fear and beauty.
