Abandonment to Revelation, by Eddie Rehm


"ABANDONMENT TO REVELATION"
By Eddie Rehm
October 17th– 30th, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, October 21st, 5-9pm
Artist Reception: Friday, October 28th, 5-9 pm


The Orchard Windows Gallery has invited celebrated New York artist, Eddie Rehm, back for his third solo exhibition.

"Instant Gratification  Abstract” is a term I use to describe my art and the style in which I present each piece,” says Rehm, when asked to describe his work.  Rehm’s art has been displayed throughout New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Pennsylvania, as well as in many local Art Leagues and Associations.  His work will also be displayed in the upcoming 2011 Art Basel Miami, alongside internationally renowned contemporary artists.

Abandonment to Revelation, is Rehm’s interpretation of today’s society, from the point-of view of living a life that many Americans are also currently enduring.  He has been abandoned, slandered, divorced, bankrupt, homeless, and jobless.  He has recently lost not just friends, but also family.  As a result the artist has suffered through many conflicting emotions simultaneously:  belligerence, anger, depravity, sorrow, indifference, and pain.  Consequently, art to Rehm is therapeutic—it’s his way of working through all of these recent personal, but somehow collective, tragedies.  Through artistic practice Rehm has been able to transcend and learn from these experiences. As a result, the work in this exhibition represents the artist’s journey towards his own personal enlightenment.
 

This exhibition is on view at the Orchard Windows Gallery, 37 Orchard St. between Hester St. and Canal St. on the Lower East Side.
The gallery is open from 11am-6pm daily.
For further information please contact the gallery.

The Orchard Windows Gallery has invited celebrated New York artist, Eddie Rehm, back for his third solo exhibition.  "Instant Gratification Abstract is a term I use to describe my art and the style in which I present each piece,” says Rehm, when asked to describe his work.  Rehm’s art has been displayed throughout New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Pennsylvania, as well as many local Art Leagues and Associations.  His work will also be displayed in the upcoming 2011 Art Basel Miami, along side internationally renowned contemporary artists. 
 
Rehm’s last show Belligerence which consisted of a full gallery conceptual installation, created an aggressive buzz, aptly fitting the show’s title. “With an overwhelming positive response from collectors, patrons, and press publications, I am excited about continuing our artistic collaboration, representing Rehm’s work and giving him another exhibition,” says Dino Eli, owner of Orchard Windows Gallery. 
 
On the theme of his new show, Abandonment to Revelation, Rehm reveals his impetus:  “My work is my interpretation of today’s society, since I have lived a life that many Americans are also currently enduring.  I have been abandoned, slandered, divorced, bankrupt, homeless, and jobless.  I have recently lost not just friends, but family.  I have suffered through so many conflicting emotions simultaneously:  belligerence, anger, depravity, sorrow, indifference, and pain.  I have lost it all!  So art to me is therapeutic; it’s my way of working through all of these recent personal, but somehow collective, tragedies.  At the same time, each person’s experience is unique, and while I feel everyone can relate to these experiences in some way, my art transcends that experience, representing my journey toward enlightened ideas and raw emotion through progressive thought.  Through these gut-retching experiences or perhaps in spite of them, I am meeting myself again as if for the first time.  In doing so, through my art, I am asking the very questions that most people won’t, can’t, or bury down deep so they don’t have to deal with them.  I am not ashamed of these questions or where they lead us, but intrigued!  Through these tribulations, I have learned that we are, at the same time, our own best friend and worst enemy, and despite this, we can find our own answer.  So I have come full circle and this work is the beginning of this enlightenment.”
 
If this does not spark your curiosity, then you should check out the exhibition simply to get a forward
looking glimpse of what 21st century art will be.  According to Dino, “His style is unique, raw, and refreshing.  I believe it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows who he is.”
