Solo show opening reception for Antonio Nogueira “Peeks and Valleys”

You are invited to solo show opening of works by Antonio Nogueira "Peeks and Valleys".
Join us for an exhibition tour and a chat with the artist while we explore his vibrant artwork and hear about his process.

Antonio was born and raised near Porto, Portugal. He moved to NYC in his teens and received a BA in Art Education from Montclair State University. He is currently residing in Northern New Jersey.
The artist uses large canvases as he enjoys the physical challenge of painting on a large scale. The results are long, contour lines with curves that are consistent elements in his artworks.

It is Antonio’s first time showing in VR and we are excited to welcome him and share his work world wide though our community in the Metaverse.

Just Breathe – Solo Show Opening Reception for Michelle Lubin

Michelle Lubin is a San Diego, CA based artist, creating representational self-portraits pulled directly from journal entries, pencil drawings, utilizing music to validate feelings and harness energy.
"Keeping my series mostly monochromatic eliminates distraction for my creative process while also allowing viewers to focus on the details and narrative. Using wood as my canvas is an essential part of my process; the smell of fresh cut wood conjures nostalgic memories of working alongside my (late) Artist father who heavily inspired and influenced my direction in the arts."

Join us for Michelle's Solo Show opening "Just Breathe" and experience first hand her vast creativity and raw talent when we discuss her heartfelt series.

Sosumart Presents: Different landscape

"Different landscape" combines the views on the world from two perspectives from two artists. Debbi Saccomanno Chan is influenced by classical Chinese Art and Jens Kreibach by Western Art. Both perspectives provide a unique view on the world, but add to each other, even if they are very different. The term landscape is not restricted to its traditional meaning, but is understood in a more generalized way and can cover each surrounding environment.
