Annika Connor, Blue Room.
Contemporary Romantic painter Annika Connor is showing pieces from her latest collections at the Bungalow 5 from November 9th to December 9th, 2011. The exhibition titled Tuxedo Park brings together the decadent interiors of an era gone by with sumptuous landscapes from an imagined garden.
Playing off the name of the local Orange County village, Tuxedo Park harkens back to an idealized world while showcasing Connor’s interpretation of whimsical romanticism. Displayed in Bungalow 5’s opulent urban setting, this exhibition couples elegant modern furniture with Connor’s lush and nostalgic watercolor paintings.
Connor, who has long embraced the idea of exhibiting in alternative art venues, finds the collaboration with Bungalow 5 to be “an exciting new opportunity to explore my interest in pop up exhibiting and to work with Active Ideas Productions on a fun new stray space show”.
Connecting directly to the artistically crafted furniture displayed at Bungalow 5, Connor intends for the work to “capture the dizzying fizz of a sip of champagne, while reflecting a fascination with sheer splendor.”
Tuxedo Park provides guests with a unique experience of a showroom turned gallery.
Bungalow 5 is open to the public and available for viewing at the showroom Monday through Friday, 10:00am – 6:00pm. The Bungalow 5 Showroom is located at 251 West 30th Street, Suite 10 between 7th and 8th Ave.
Annika Connor is a Contemporary Romantic painter. Her work depicts a fascination with beauty and decadence. Overall, they seem to be fragments from a daydream, which portray a longing for a time of romance and pleasure.
