On Friday March 20, a solo art exhibition of Aruban artist Elisa Lejuez officially opened at the S Artspace Gallery in Soho, New York City. The collection, titled “We kiss the joy as it flies”, was strongly inspired by Zen teachings and the basic principles of Buddhism. This is the second solo art exhibition of Elisa Lejuez in the United States and a successful one, considering the turn-out on the opening night and the number of artworks already sold.
The well-attended opening attracted New York residents and fellow artists, representatives of US-based media as well as the Aruba Tourism Authority. Lejuez’s latest collection “We kiss the joy as it flies” expresses thoughts of finding balance in life, brought to us by the artist in bright and vibrant colors, making use of mixed media techniques.
An interview with Dutch Caribbean artist Elisa Lejuez during the opening reception and an impression of her “We kiss the joy as it flies” collection was recorded by tv news station OneCaribbeanTelevision, that aired on RCN cable in Boston, New York City, DC Metro Area, Chicago and Philadelphia as well as on 13 Caribbean islands, including Aruba. The interview can be viewed online here, or at www.onecaribbeantelevision.com.
Elisa Lejuez’s art collection will be on display until April 2nd at the S Artspace Gallery on 345 Broome Street in Soho and at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City from April 3-6, 2014 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.
