Aloha from the Underworld April 3rd – 25th
(Aloha van de Onderwereld)
@LOW LIFE GALLERY
16001 Waterloo Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44110
Opening Reception on April 3rd / 7-11pm
This two women assemblage and collage exhibition combines the talents of Netherlands artist, Michelle Van Dijk with Cleveland’s own Phoebe Marie Nelson.
Phoebe Marie started making postcard-sized collages as a way to basically cheat her way through her final portfolio review at the University of Colorado. She discovered that she actually loved doing collage work and continued working in this format well after school ended. Phoebe Marie’s custom toys are frequently featured on www.ToyCyte.com and her collage cards and jewelry can be found locally at Shoparooni.
Michelle Van Dijk hails from Rotterdam, Netherlands. After completing her studies at the Netherlands College of Art, Michelle started work as a free lance artist. For her assemblage (shrine boxes) she draws inspiration from the fashion, architecture, music and popular culture of the 1920s – 1950s eras. For this exhibit, Michelle translated common American phrases into strong, erotic, provocative images of women appearing as femme fatale, angel, and witch.
This exhibition will be available for viewing from April 3rd, - April 25th. The gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 6-10 p.m. For more information call 330-671-6123 or visit www.lowlifecleveland.com
