Local 11 Ten

The Opening Reception
Monday February 1st from 5-6:30 pm.

Visit the Local website for more information.

Tomorrow I will be hanging several paintings along with some new drawings at one of the best Local fine dining restaurants in Savannah, Local 11 Ten. Normally I would not exhibit in a restaurant however I believe in Local's vision. They work with local and seasonal ingredients which is better for both us and the planet. To give it a twist they add some french and italian flare to their dishes, creating a true experience for the genuine lover of food and now Art.

I'm also excited to show with Local 11 Ten because of their decor. When they opened in 2007 they worked with a Savannah based yet New York City experienced group called Rethink Design Studio. They aided in transforming an old bank from the 1950's into a contemporary and chic space. The mood of the interior is unified yet unique in every direction. Some of the surfaces include exposed brick, raw cork and natural woods. I'm looking forward to seeing my work in the space. The palette will match. The mood will match and the juxtaposition of natural materials with my industrial imagery will support the impact and message of my work.

Anyone with a sophisticated palette will leave with their intellectual appetite wholly satisfied, as well as their stomach. As I said, normally, I would show exclusively to galleries however this spot is too good to pass up. See you there.
