The Painting Center
This event has ended.
The Painting Center presents The Last Temptation of St. Anthony by Robert Solomon or Ming and the Spider from Mars in the Main Gallery.
Robert Solomon: The Last Temptation of St. Anthony or Ming and the Spider from Mars reflects one day of walking through a rapidly changing Chelsea neighborhood. They were captured on iPhone and sketched on paper before becoming paintings. The show is influenced by “The temptation of St. Anthony by Gustave Flaubert”, the work of Friedrich Nietzsche (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) not to mention Bob Dylan “Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands”
