Gallery opening at #2 Legacy Tower, Bellatrix
SaGu (Bellatrix) . Patrick Cournoyer and Artis will officially open its doors to the Second LIfe public on Saturday, 14 April, highlighting some of the SL art world’s finest collections by in-world artists.
Located in Tower #2 of the Artisan Gallerias Legacy Towers at Bellatrix (233, 218, 27), Artis' opening comes on the heels of the stunning opening a month ago of the twin Legacy Towers, created by owner and art promoter Jordan Morgenrote.
SL resident Morgenrote, who calls New York her RL home, drew inspiration for her towers from New York's Twin Towers. The two new structures represent an homage to the NYC icons and the diversity of the world's peoples they drew. Here represented through the creativity of SL artists, that diversity is manifest in this stunning collection of art from around the world.
But what appears as a high-tech corporate headquarters from afar, is actually one of the most strikingly impressive art collections in all of Second Life.
Art promoter Patrick Cournoyer of Artis has rallied up a number of very promising and talented artists who will be showing a selection of their work in tower two of the gallery from 14 April. [SL newspaper] managed to get a sneak preview of the exhibition and talked to promoter Patrick Cournoyer and Gracie Kendal, one of the exhibiting artists.
Gracie’s unique collages in paper and acrylic draw inspiration from images in popular magazines and art pieces. For Gracie, Second Life provides a great platform to reach people and get her work out in the open.
Also featuring at the gallery, artist “Filthy Fluno” (aka Jeffrey Lipsky of Boston ) demostrates his wild, energetic pastel and charcoal paintings - which have already been showing at a number of places in real life and are shortly to be shown in France.
For artist Alexia Kline, the exhibition at Artisan Galleria is a first. Her work, a combination of low-key (nude) photography, charcoal, watercolours and chalk pastels, range from powerfully sombre sepia to almost meditative blue pieces.
Further artists to be seen at the Artisan Galleria are French artist Sophie K with her multi-layered photographs and Ayiki Takakura who has devoted herself entirely to the female body.
The grand opening will take place at Legacy Towers on Saturday 14 April at 12 pm (SL time).Of course, the exhibits are also for sale, so you may want to bring some Lindens to purchase some original artwork by very promising talents.
