With Live Painting MEET DAVID ANSON RUSSO Thursday, November 16th, 2017 7:00pm to 9:00pm Pop International Galleries 195 Bowery New York, NY 10002 RSVP@popinternational.com
WHAT A GREAT LIFE is a philosophy and a way of life expressed through an art style of hundreds of unique and whimsical images that depict all the good things in life. It is all about what brings people joy, and how to manifest that joy in one's day to day experiences and in all aspects of one's life. The images are all designed to make you happy and feel good; not just in a surface way, but more in a deeply connected way by using all the core elements we hold dear. This work is not simply just an art style; it's a way of living and thinking. “What a Great Life" is about being grateful and appreciative for the life you have and ringing out every minute of every day with no regrets. These are the concepts inherent in this an style, and what you will see in the upcoming show at Pop International Galleries.
