1st Annual Harlem Fine Arts Show

One World One Art member and painter Greg C. attended the Harlem art show last month and was kind enough to send us some pics and thoughts. Of the show Greg said, "The armory is a huge open space, as armories go. Great space for such a show, and it's surprising that it's the first of it's kind in Harlem. Should be the start of many more to come."

He went on to say "The first pic is a piece titled "See you in 5 minutes" by Sterling Brown. It's clearly a painting but i didn't ask him whether it was oil, acrylic etc. i just liked the image, so much so that i bought a poster print of it, which he was selling for $25. Now it hangs in my kitchen..."


"See you in 5 minutes" - S.Brown


"The next three pieces are by Robert Carter (robertcarterstudio.com), an older stylish, refined gentleman who now lives on Long Island. Much of his work is multi-media, incorporating wood, ceramic and paint, some 2-D, some 3-D. Very skilled draftsman."




"The final piece is by an artist named Corey. His last name escapes me but he's a younger southern gentleman who provided this website:
visions@swbell.net. What's interesting about this drawing is the use of both ink and shoe polish to create the image on paper. His work recalls the days of segregation and overt racism in the south. You can't make it out in the photo but there's a sign in the upper right corner that reads 'No colored'."
