Parrish Road Show: Esly E. Escobar: Playground

Located at: Quail Hill Farm, 660 Old Stone Hwy, Amagansett, NY

Parrish Road Show, now in its seventh year, is the Parrish Art Museum's creative off-site summer series featuring temporary projects by East End artists. Road Show is designed to deeply connect creativity to everyday life by presenting exhibitions and programs in unexpected places across the region—from public parks to historic sites, beaches, and highways.

Westhampton-based visual artist and abstract painter Esly E. Escobar (b. 1981) was born in Guatemala and raised in the United States. His work combines techniques from Abstract Expressionism, readymade found art, assemblage and collage, and various drip painting methods. 

For Parrish Road Show at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett, Escobar will create Playground, a site-specific installation. The installation comments on the wide range of social strata on the East End who engage in sports, bringing them together in a figure of positive energy.
