Delve into the World of the Celebrity at the monOrchid

PHOENIX - Nov. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Shade Projects is proud to present Celebrity, a group exhibition exploring how celebrities and how they are perceived in society. Artists explore how we associate celebrity with glitz, glamour and the diverse creative worlds of television, film, fashion, and art. This exhibition will showcase a vibrant selection of drawings, paintings and mixed-media works that depict various celebrities and personalities of both past and present while examining what celebrity is to each artist.

We will be showcasing a dynamic group of six local artists including Babe&Butter, DadSocks, Jeanna Delfin, Jesse Perry, Jon Wassom and Larry Willis. Each artist possesses a very distinct style, unique voice and great skill that perfectly lends itself to bringing this fascinating theme to life in Shade Gallery, states Curator, Nicole Royse.
