This Thursday marks another show opening for us and a very special one. Redefine creator, Peter Van Flores will be having his very first Solo show entitled “One Dark Day.” Most people who know him do know he’s originally from New York City but this show will shed some more light regarding what he actually experienced there in his younger years.
And now the description:
“One Dark Day, A Walkable Novel by Peter Van Flores III, opens August 18th at the Redefine Pop Up Gallery located in the Orlando CityArts Factory, from 6pm-10pm. The show features all new work and a natural approach that focuses on that specific day we all run into a troubled decision or a day when the media and public realize the consequences of choices made. Most of the work is inspired by experiences and emotions gained from living 21 years in the Jacob Riis Project Buildings in the Lower East Side of New York City along with stories shared by his girlfriend who lived her first 18 years in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Born into light vs. dark, a mother who’s a detective for the NYPD and father who was a graffiti writer and in legal trouble since the early 80’s and recently released from prison, Peter uses positive common sense combined with street smarts to bring a true “urban” show to the CityArts Factory. This is not “fine art.” On this dark day not everyone will appreciate the grittiness and imperfections but all will walk away feeling a bit more conscious of actual poverty based inner city struggles and life changing decisions. Each piece will be accompanied by a written short story based on his experiences in the projects which inspired him to do the show.”
Hope you all make it.
