I got a Press Release about the Artist Olan, who I interviewed twice last year (Olan Montgomery – In Person Artist Interview – Part 1  and Olan Montgomery – In Person Artist Interview – Continued) and who was also interviewed by John Evans in Celebrity at Work – Olan – New York Artist, is having another opening on Saturday, July 7th, and a Press Event on Friday, July 6th.  I’ll be at both events.

Here’s the info, for any readers living in New York City or nearby that might like to see Olan’s show and attend his event of Friday:

Things are not always what they appear to be.  A living art exhibition will take place throughout New York City on Friday, July 6th.  Pop Marilyn, a reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe will be a part of Olan’s exhibit because of the irony of her beauty and the tragedy of her death. She will be brought to life in true 1950′s style, complete with entourage and paparazzi.
 
This moving exhibition is promoting a new show by Olan, one of New York’s most prominent artists and will portray this theme with vivid and contrasting artwork.  “The exhibit is sure to be poignantly contrary to what one should expect,” says Olan. “It’s a fabulous blend of pop art and irony and each piece of artwork truly tells a tale.”  The exhibit will be exclusively at the non-profit Ward-Nasse Gallery, with an Opening and Meet the Artist reception on Saturday, July 7th, from 8 p.m. – 1 a.m.
 
Olan is a cutting edge, multimedia artist whose bold style has graced the Manhattan scene for the past 6 years.  A fresh new look on modern art, Olan’s work has seamlessly bridged visual arts and club scenes focusing on the individual through color and form, many of his subjects being underground NY nightlife figures like Boy George and Amanda Lepore. “My paintings are colorful but they deal with serious issues in society today,” he says.  Working from his own photographs, which are hand painted on canvas, his diverse subjects range from celebrities to unique individuals he meets on the streets.  
 
In Olan’s words, “It’s about beauty, starvation, love, violence, intolerance, tragedy and death, basically your average day for any New Yorker.”
