SILENCE IN ACTION

Here in New York City, purpose is the only aspect making noise, forcing non-essential things in our life to be just an elective and into quietness while the best part of you blossoms. That’s one action taken as an effective message to others, we are doing meaningful work, we must not be disturbed. And that’s “Silence”, a brand-new immersive experience which opened Wednesday night at Bang & Olufsen at 121 Spring Street with an opening gala to complement the high-end electronic space. Debbie Dickinson’s artist roster includes Bill Buchman, S.L. Fuller, Carole Bolger, Evan Sebastian Lagache, and Alayna Coverly.

BILL BUCHMAN

If you are planning for a period of quietness whether intended or not, then you have to spend untold time conceiving an idea that’s going to benefit you. Bill Buchman delivers a series of works which takes acrylics and oil stick on paper telling stories of how each aspect came about. “Birth Of The Cool” takes you through a black and white process of creating a personality which other people know you as. Bill’s use of print on paper also comes alive in “Zenso” where only 3 colors of yellow, black, and red are needed to define what the purpose is that also acts as a barrier to keep nonsense out.

S.L. FULLER

Ink is the only powerful means of writing you have to authenticate or tell a story about what took place, ink cannot be effectively used if it’s not applied on paper. At any given moment, S.L. Fuller lives in an elegant situation as Indian Ink on Arches Paper create “Erica” where this sleek illustration has Les Demoiselle kissing a feline while performing her musical instrument of choice, then came applause. Welcome to “Simone”, a musical tribute to S.L. Fuller where “Simone” plays the Saxophone in pure beautiful delight, but the only thing “Simone” admires here is her own silhouette. The celebration of ink and paper comes to life one more time with “Luna” falling in love with the moon as she blows a kiss and dances till dawn.

CAROLE BOLGER

It’s always a given, in order to create something, it takes an entire process to go from idea to having a physical process. Carole Bolger takes the most dainty object in what’s considered part of the gifting process where a ribbon takes center stage. “Ribbons Becoming” are more than just the icing of the cake as part of gift wrap, ribbons expand with graphite, gouache, and acrylic on paper to open all possibilities of wonder. No matter the patterns or colors, ribbons size up equally to bring happiness for the most part to someone near and dear to you.

EVAN SEBASTIAN LAGACHE

Walking along the streets of New York City, there’s always constant hustle and bustle, the Con Edison power grid cannot be taxed enough. Then out of nowhere comes a thick dark multicolored cloud which grows larger to take up half the grid of patterns by Evan Sebastian Lagache. This is the mind of a “Dreamer” comprised of acrylic, watercolor, and college which purples the situation as one’s brain is surging in activity. Then out of nowhere comes a yellow-beige figure on the bottom left where in all headstrong motion and perfect chest, you have spotted the source of disruption not trying to cause havoc.

ALAYNA COVERLY

We’re not always a witness to greatness as it happens, or even if there’s a systemic breakdown taking place, we only see the after effects. In the collection of self-breakthroughs created by Alayna Coverly, oil on canvas in colorful 3D like effect explore the brilliant truth and darkness taking place. “Vise” in its sharp blue and pink dominance in black confronts one’s own faults while being a moment of self-discovery. “Abysmal” in blue, yellow, and green already are at a dark place in broad daylight with no need to arrive at tough breaks since you’re already there. And “Breaking The Surface” on pink canvas starts out frustrating but lands ultimately on an uplifting moment as a problem is solved.

A PERFECT PLACE

B & O (Bang & Olufsen) located right on Spring Street off Avenue Of The Americas in downtown Manhattan couldn’t be the more perfect place for “Silence” to serve its purpose. Bo is a true high quality destination of home electronics combined with innovative home decor for the Debbie Dickinson Gallery to convey “Silence” in its purest form. The “Silence” works created by the aforementioned artists beautifully showcase a destination where progress can happen without distraction. This is a beautifully sustainable and meaningful gallery for you to know how to improve on your self-awareness. “Silence” is at B & O till Tuesday, August 5 from 11am to 7pm.
