I had a chance to visit this gallery for an exhibition opening and mixer for the artist, Rasheed Araeen. I enjoyed the selection of works that included studies from the artist to the final work. This gallery has two floors on view for artist's work. The first floor is a beautiful open space where you can walk around to get a feel of the work. Upstairs, you have the option to take the elevator or a rounded staircase. The second floor has two different rooms that the curator utilized to place Araeen's studies in the first room and the viewer exits to the final piece in the following room.
I enjoyed this exhibiton and learning more about the artist from the gallerist, Pam.
