This past Friday was the opening reception for White Lies-Black Noise the group exhibition I am a participating artist in. The show opening reception at Rush Arts in Chelsea was a great event with wine, art, great people and even a handful of art world stars dropping in to lend their support and celerate the next generation of great artists.

I am very happy to have been selected as an artist in the show and after seeing everyone's else's work and I am even more humble and grateful. There are some great artists in the show and their work is amazing. I am proud of my own work as well which has been very well received.

White Lies-Black Noise is on display until January 24, 2009 at Rush Arts Gallery located in Chelesea on 26th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues. They are open Tuesday thru Saturday 11am until 6pm. I will be organizing a couple of field trips to the arts district in Chelsea to see our show as well as a couple of other exhibits going on now.

Check out some of the photos from the reception.
