ARTE: Honoring Chinua Achebe

A giant in the world of literature and humanity.  Chinua Achebe achieved icon status as a writer for penning many best sellers depicting life and truths about his home country Nigeria.  Two of my favorites and cannon classics Things Fall Apart and No Longer At Ease are still in my top 10 favorite reads of all time.  He was a prolific man and may be rest in peace.

Chinua Achebe: November 30, 1960 Ogidi, Nigeria - March 21, 2013 Boston, USA

ARTE: SONDER Behind the Scenes!

Thursday evening we opened Kenturah Davis solo exhibit, Sonder. The opening was alot of fun escpically since a week before the opening the artist was still feverishly finishing the art works.  The photos below taken by photographer Xavier Fumat shows a behind the scene glimpse into a private invite only studio visit we did with art collectors and museum curators in LA. During these visits Michelle Joan Papillion walked the guest through Kenturah's work, they were also able to observe her process and watch her create. For photos from the opening click HERE
