Steve Powers' new, fantastic work is being exhibited at the Alice Gallery in Brussels. The show is titled 'Semaphores of the Soul' and is running until March 7th, 2009. I adore the color theme used in these works, and the comical and relatable written words/statements are well woven into the pieces. The word Semaphore is very appropriate for this series, as Steve is clearly sending the world messages through the art.
