SPREAD THE LEAD @ gallery hanahou!

Spread the Lead what if we only had a pencil?

October 16 - November 20

gallery hanahou

611 Broadway, Suite 730 NYC

Opening reception: October 16, 6-8 pm

UPDATE: We are now receiving the pieces for this exciting show: pencil artwork from digital artist Kenzo Minami, fashion artist Sara Singh, and others who are finding expression for their creativity in new and varied ways through this humble medium. We are thrilled to present this rare glimpse of works that at once demonstrates the artists' skilled draftsmanship and reveals their playful, experimental sides.

What if the history of art began and ended with graphite, and your local art supply store was little more than a pencil outlet? For this group show, gallery hanahou has challenged artists from all backgrounds and mediums to drop their brushes and computer mice and see what they can do with only a B2 pencil and a piece of paper. Just as compelling as the results on the gallery walls will be the visitors' reactions to so many artistic viewpoints rendered in shades of gray. The pencils the artists use to create their work will be included with sale of the artwork.

Participating artists include digital maestro Kenzo Minami, peaceable painting duo APAK, and Robbie Guertin, who plays in the band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and has collaborated with other artists on album artwork.

Several artists, including Robbie Guertin, will attend the opening reception on October 16.
