ETERNAL SLEEP OPENING RECEPTION

1:AM — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:50:23 +0000

Friday, October 16th, 1:AM gallery celebrated our one year anniversary! The artists brought their A-game and filled the gallery with their imaginative interpretation of life and death. One of Shawn Griggs’ oil paintings depicted skull figures fishing, body boarding on a pier that seemed to be floating in the night sky while Lawrence Yang transformed his characters to have skulls with a story of absorption and Sesl commemorated Dia de los Muertos by painting a traditional life and death ceremony. This is just 3 out of the 50 amazing pieces we have at the gallery for the Eternal Sleep show.

The vibe was great at the opening reception. People enjoyed the art and each other’s company. Most of the contributing artists were on hand schmoozing, boozing and having fun.

Here are some pix:
