Hoboken gallery to showcase artist who turns family heirlooms into priceless works of art

HOBOKEN – Someone’s treasured family keepsake is this artist’s fine art waiting to happen.

Local artist Michael Malizia will showcase his exhibition “Faces: A Retelling,” at the Tresorie Gallery in Hoboken from Thursday, April 7 to May 15. The gallery is part of Malizia’s ongoing project, My Life Studio.

“Malizia gives new life to playbills, documents, tickets, and drawings, enhancing each piece with watercolor, acrylic, oils, stencils, etc.,”organizers say in an event announcement “With keepsake preservation becoming an ironically new trend, Malizia is straying away from the pack and creating pieces with both sentimental and artistic value.”
