Taxidepot's Special Gallery :::::PRESENTS:::::: "TAXI artWORKS By Gloria Gonzalez Gallego

taxi-artworks-cover Taxidepot boss  Al Gallego commissioned 20 Taxi artworks  to Gloria Amparo Gonzalez Gallego in 2008. The Colombian deaf artist despite her international and national success, was very humble and willing to help her  uncle with this beautiful vision of  "Taxi Nostalgia and Beyond"

The exhibition "Taxi Nostalgy and Beyond" was part of   "La Esquina" gallery in Long Island City, NY.  And it is currently exhibited  in the Taxidepot Headquarter Gallery of  New York and Taxidepot web Gallery

The Artwoks of Gloria Gonzalez Gallego are born from the sounds of silence as an internal light that flourishes galloping in a fascinating journey of magic realism. The space is sustained on intimacy in an autonomous universe of picturesque nature to pass in protagonic peace beyond the limits of man emotions.

Although her methods and techniques seem to be diverse, they converge with the fine use of lithography mixed techniques that involve the formation of intrinsic textures and shapes, allowing her to expand and experiment with different materials such as dry leaves and earth and oily crayons to ultimately capture her artistic expression.

A "New" Ohmer Has Been Restored

Taxidepot Boss went back in time in full gear programming action. No digital meters or oscilloscopes were involved in such complex machinery micro-operation other that his primary instincts and imported skills acquired in Sweden back in 1970's. It  was the rumor in the office, since last May when Al Gallego was commissioned to restore an Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924. However, it was not until today that we could officially confirm such clandestine operation and celebrate the triumph of this successful fine-watchman surgery. Please let us "Re-Introduce" the great Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924. Thanks Boss

NYC Taxicab Passenger Enhancement Program: Too good to be True?

New York Mad Driver Taxi drivers to have their cell blocked is the hope of many passengers whom dream to scream: "shut up- Shut up Shut up Man!!!"

Part of the program proposes a device which would block taxi drivers cell phones but it will allow passengers to use their phones with not restrictions, by reversing the roles we might see in the future the mad minds of the drivers saying: "Shut up shut up man!!!" but of course they wouldn't  jeopardize their hard earned tips.
