Artist Don Hershman Premieres “The Art of Code Switching” Exhibition at Salomon Arts Gallery in New York City

Fresh off the heels of his last sold-out show in New York, ‘Donald and Victor:  Under the Influence,’ visionary artist Don Hershman turned his passion once again into purpose with his newest exhibition of 20 paintings entitled “The Art of Code Switching,” which debuted at the Salomon Arts Gallery in Manhattan’s Tribeca district.

The show is a brilliant symphony of single and double imagery enmeshing color and shadows – used as a metaphor for the increasing need for social navigation.  People of color, women and the LGBTQ community are once again faced with Code Switching, a social tool altering language and behavior and becoming increasingly compulsory within today’s shifting political climate.  “Like many artists, my paintings are an expression of my personal and political surroundings.  It’s 2023.  This is what’s happening.” Sparkling Wine served at the reception was supplied courtesy of Single Married Divorced founded by Irina Patar.

Notable Attendees included: Don Hershman, Jorge Alzate, Rodrigo Salomon, Gigi Salomon, Ford Crull, Elton Ilirjani, Julia Ilirjani, Carmen D’Alessio, Tina Radziwill, Ava Breeze, Leesa Rowland, Brigitte Segura, Pedro Oberto, Nabys Vielman, Marc Bouwer, Heidi Schaeffer, Neil Koenigsberg, Daniel Montelongo, Ashley Kor.
