"The Center for Brooklyn History at Brooklyn Public Library is home to the most expansive collection of Brooklyn history in the world, so we are especially delighted to showcase the work of three Brooklyn artists: Danny Cortes, Jack Giambanco and Aaron Kinard. Their miniatures capture the borough's past and present in exquisitely detailed brownstones, storefronts, bodegas and more," a library spokesperson said.
Cortes's miniatures capture his childhood growing up in Bushwick and the gritty New York of the 1990s. His urban landscapes detail every gum stain, sticker, and rust-worn gate in intricate detail. In the three short years since Cortes began his surprising journey as a miniaturist, he has become a sought after artist, with work displayed at Art Basel in Miami, auctioned at Sotheby's, and collected by Hip Hop stars.
