The Gallery Elysees on Central Park South hosted a fabulous reception for the US premier of works by Alain Godon. Alain Godon began his career as a sidewalk chalk artist, and these paintings encapsulate the playful nature of that initial medium. The warped style of rendering buildings is simultaneously humorous and ominous. The piece I actually found most interesting, however, was a sculpture of the Eiffel Tower. Although the show is up until January 4th, the initial response was so great that there are only a few remaining canvases left for sale. I for one, cannot wait to see what Gallery Elysees puts up next, the wonderful space will be sure to have many more sold out shows. The tasty hors d’ouevres and drinks were provided by Tokyo Pop.
