If you’ve been in or around the colorful, historic village of New Paltz, NY, you’ve likely seen local painter Ryan E. Cronin’s playful artwork at the Main Street Bistro or the Oasis Cafe. In June, the nationally known pop artist opened his own store and gallery in the Water Street Market on Main Street. Now you can buy a piece of the action and take it home.
Stop by the artsy region to see his work and visit the shop, which features a range of products; everything from “Double Rainbow” and “Aliens Are Coming” T-shirts to big, bright canvas works, many of which make political statements, such as “Empty Suit” and “Tennis at Ten, Cocktails at Noon, It Says Hate on the Other Hand.”
We especially like dishing about the BPA-free, polymer plates, hand-decorated with his iconic images of a bunny, fish, plane, cats and more. Made in the USA, the 10-inch plates are dishwasher and microwave safe and retail for $24.95 each. Mix and match or make a set – now your art collection can extend to the dinner table.
