USING ART TO CREATE A CELEBRITY ART SHOW
Since 2005, Kip Omolade has created over 100 paintings and
drawings of a single model with the goal of using art as a star-making machine.
The result is a collection that critiques our celebrity-obsessed society while
exploring the power of art. The exhibition will present Omolade’s latest
portraits from his “Diovadiova Project”. A special feature of the show will
include 3D oil paintings. When viewed with 3D glasses, visitors will experience
the illusion of depth usually found in movies.
Bravo TV's “Work of Art” winner, Abdi Farah states: " Kip Omolade is on to something truly great.
The
seemingly effortless way that Kip Omolade composes paintings of such potent visual
pleasure while also containing grounds for lasting contemplation, fills me with both
hope and jealousy as a fellow painter. His love for painting and for his
subjects is palpable, and is matched only by his willingness to indict his own
motives and desires."
There will be an opening reception on Friday November 2nd from
6-9pm. The show concludes on Saturday November 3rd from 11am
to 6pm. Rogue Space is in the Chelsea Fine Arts Building, 526 West 26th
Street, Suite 9E, New York, NY 10001.
