Works will be rotated throughout the summer to ensure a consistently fresh experience.

Works by international street art maestro, L’Atlas, will be on display throughout the exhibition.

In 2008, the artist staged a performance in conjunction with the Pompidou Center, Paris, which was received to critical acclaim. Paintings and silkscreens by New York artist Steve Ellis will also be included it the exhibition. Best known for his iconic lighter series, Ellis is a central figure in downtown Manhattan’s vibrant art scene.
