Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by DanielKalmar in Art at Roger Smith, Arts, Hotel
Featuring the work of Jason Bryant, Allison Edge, and Ross Racine March 19th, 2010 – April 18th, 2010 Opening Reception: Friday March 19th 7-10pm Roger Smith Hotel 501 Lexington Ave Lobby Gallery, and Solarium Gallery 16th fl.
Like the Spice and the Roger Smith Hotel are pleased to announce that they have joined creative forces to present a group show featuring Like the Spice artists Jason Bryant, Allison Edge, and Ross Racine. The Roger Smith Hotel, a positive, open and friendly spot in Midtown Manhattan, nestled amongst the skyscrapers, is not just a hotel, but also a location for guests and visitors to get a taste of the up and coming New York arts scene. Located at 501 Lexington Avenue with its Solarium Gallery on the 16th floor, has had a long history of hosting creative and entertaining exhibitions that stimulate thought and conversation. Like the Spice is extremely excited to be invited and why we think our artists will fit their style perfectly.
In the lobby of the hotel you will find the shapes of spirals, explosions and clouds that mirror the strange psychology of Quebec-born artist Ross Racine’s fictional suburban developments. Ross has shown extensively across the United States and Canada. His “digital drawings” are hand-drawn directly by computer, creating communities that could be taken from some otherworldly Mapquest. They are in no way photographs, yet still carry a convincing feel, leaving you with the assumption that someone, somewhere, has been to see these communities in person.
Come join us on opening night, March 19th, as we begin our very exciting month-long stay at the Roger Smith Hotel! And please come to view more of these artists’ works and more at Like the Spice as we will remain open and will be hosting our own exhibition on site!
