Go See This. Brandon McLean "In Bloom" @ Twelve 21 Gallery.

If you are in the Orlando area be sure to stop by Twelve 21 Gallery for Brandon McLean's current solo show titled "In Bloom". The show features all new pieces and exploration of new themes. Brandon's work has a thoughtful narrative and a beautiful collaging technique that has become more perfected with each body of work that he produces. These works delicately balance paint and collage utilizing patterns of stars, repeated stripes, and flower motifs to create depth. I am a huge fan of Brandon's work and it is always nice to see his newest creations. You can see more info here.

Gala Event. ARTrageous Benefit Auction Donation.

I have donated one of my found art reappropriated sculptures for the upcoming ARTrageous auction to be held this Monday, June 4, 2012 at Cipriani Wall Street. The live auction will be conducted by Phillips de Pury & Company.

ARTrageous is a unique fundraising event benefiting foster children through art. Kids residing in foster care and a kids committee collaborate with a dynamic group of artists to help create artwork for auction. The artwork created, along with donated works of art and luxury items will be sold in a silent and live auction at the ARTrageous Gala Dinner + Art Auction.

 The money raised through ARTrageous benefits Edwin Gould Services for Children and Families (EGSCF). For more than 85 years, this non-profit organization has been serving and protecting children residing in foster care in New York City. Your generous contribution will support many programs and services EGSCF provides. Over the past decade ARTrageous has been a huge success, raising more than $15 million! Today EGSCF is one of the top Foster Care Agencies in New York City.
