Opera Gallery New York represents a wide variety of artists, from street artists who have decided to take on the canvas, such as Saber and Bast, to well established contemporary artists, such as Ron English, David Mach, Lori Earley, and Simon Birch. Opera Gallery New York has developed a reputation as one of the leading voices of contemporary art in New York. The gallery, one of the pre-cursors to the Pop-Surrealism movement, has continued with career making exhibitions for Ron English (2003) and Lori Earley (2007). In 2009, Opera Gallery New York staged the monumental street art show Nimbus Vapor, with works from 21 of the biggest names in the movement including Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Swoon. In 2010, Opera Gallery New York was the main instigator of the controversial pop-up exhibition Icons by Mr. Brainwash. Originally slated to run for 2 months, the show was open for over 10 months and was an overwhelming critical and commercial success. Opera Gallery New York is part of an internationally renowned network of galleries with 10 global locations, including Paris, Singapore, Miami, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong.
