Callen Schaub Launches New York Debut Exhibition "FAKE ART"
Canadian Abstract Painter invites audiences to ponder "what is art?" And Calls Out Cyber-Bullies
NEW YORK, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian abstract painter Callen Schaub, most recognized for his unconventional techniques, will launch his New York debut solo exhibition - FAKE ART Since '95 - at 393 Broadway, on Wednesday, April 24 at 6 p.m. via PMA Media. The (invite only) OPENING VERNISSAGE EVENT will include cocktails, canapés, DJ, and exhibition preview. The artist-directed popup exhibition is open to the public April 25 to April 29 with live performances every day. The program will include exciting live arena performances, art + merchandise (pop up shop) for purchase and an open-invitation to ponder the meaning and purpose of art. Collectors, families and kids are encouraged to attend public opening hours.
FAKE ART is Schaub's response is to the digital world of art criticism and his dedication to advocating freedom of expression and inclusivity. Schaub's colorful and free-wielding paintings seek to celebrate authenticity and imaginative freedom. The artist's work takes inspiration from the positivity expressed in the online community as well as responding artistically to the experience of being trolled.
"FAKE ART is not an exhibit about defining art, but rather defining the human expression," says abstract artist Schaub. "Embracing art requires perspective and an open mind - so we're creating a space for people to do just that - question what they see and feel."
