THE MANHATTAN PROJECT
The Manhattan Project
Solo Exhibit - jan. 30- feb. 22 2010
by Andrew King
After a busy summer and fall I needed to recharge the creative batteries and thought there probably is no better place to do that than New York City. Packing a suitcase and without much of a plan, I boarded the historic “Adirondack” train that travels from Montreal to NYC along the Hudson River. Having never been to the Big Apple, I arrived at Penn Station on a Friday night with a sketchbook a pen, and a desire to explore this famous city.
Traveling alone is a unique experience and allowed me to do and see things that brought me much inspiration and ideas for artwork. After a week in Manhattan, I had a great collection of sketches, concepts and emotional connections to a city that changed my life.
The Manhattan Project is a culmination of these ideas and emotions and a unique glimpse into my travels to the Big Apple....
This collection of new work will be exhibited at Wall Space Gallery, Ottawa.
