December 10 – EXTENDED TO February 10, 2011
Opening reception Saturday December 11, 2010 from 6-9p
EAST VILLAGE - Coming off back-to-back successful exhibitions featuring pioneering and influential East Village artists, the Dorian Grey Gallery plays host to a diverse exhibition of emerging artistic talent focused on a "New York” theme, titled: GROUP, NEW YORK.
With a keen eye focused on street art and the New York emerging art scene, the Dorian Grey Gallery continues to be the premier exhibition space and voice for numerous local undiscovered and rising artistic talents. For GROUP, NEW YORK the gallery will arrange an extensive installation of original paintings, photographs, sculpture, works on paper and mixed media. The salon style installation provides a stunning visual array of over 80 affordable works of art, all priced under $1,000. The impressive roster of over 25 artists includes such noted NY talents as: Crash, LAII, TAT's Cru, Erin Hudak, Ellen Stagg, Colette, Augustus Goertz, Alan Steele, Paul Weston, Charlene Weisler, Ricardo Accorsi, Philip Van Aver and many more.
GROUP, NEW YORK will be the latest exhibition at the Dorian Grey Gallery in what has become the East Village's hottest art attraction for emerging art. The gallery is a dynamic pop up venue geared towards showcasing both established and emerging street and graffiti artists alongside other works that present a diverse selection of exemplary art in an intimate and informative environment.
In fact, Dorian Grey Gallery just received some real street art credibility in the form of an unexpected original Kenny Scharf mural on the gallery’s roll down gate. Scharf whose prolific work graced many walls in the city during the graffiti heyday of the 1980s, once lived across the street from the gallery’s current location. In town to work on the Houston Street mural and thrilled to see a new gallery on his old block, Scharf unexpectedly showed up and painted the gate with some of his signature graffiti art creatures.
