Follow on Google News | “Atlas And His Wife” Bronze Sculpture Art Exhibition To Be Held At WTF Art Gallery And CafeThe “Atlas and His Wife” art exhibition will raise public awareness about the critical need for continued support of post-earthquake rebuilding efforts in Haiti
By: OneWoman/OneHouse Haiti Project Haiti Project is hosting an art exhibition to showcase the bronze sculpture created by its founder, poet and author, Ivory Simone. The theme of the event, “Art as a tool for social justice”, will feature a bronze sculpture inspired by “Atlas” the titan from Greek mythology. The finished work entitled, “ Atlas and His Wife”, portrays the titan as a mortal man supporting his pregnant wife, Earth. “The fullness of Earth’s belly represents the world Atlas is forced to carry on his back in Greek mythology,” Simone said, “I changed the relationship between Atlas and Earth to make them symbols of enduring love. Atlas is supporting Earth who is in the throes of labor. Their partnership, this enduring love, brings forth new life…new hope. This is the message I want the Haitian people to hear.” The exhibition will on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, from 7:00 p.m. through 9:00 p.m., at WTF Art Gallery and Café, Sukhumvit 51/soi 7. Guests will also get to enjoy the silky vocals and hot beats of Soul Publishing, Ltd., recording artist: Jeii Legend. Limited edition reproductions of the sculpture are available for purchase. All proceeds go to support the OneWoman/OneHouse Haiti Project.
