Alfredo Gonzalez Alvarez (Alva) brought his paintings into the Windisch-Hunt Gallery yesterday. He's a hyper-realist. His art is from a vantage point of sitting in a car. The piece he is hold is called "Lejeune Electra," an image of a Buick Electra on LeJeune Road and Grand Avenue. The art is being installed for this weekend's premier of "Car Culture" at the gallery.
