"We are delighted and honored to co-host such a unique event that shines a light on the extraordinary talents of our local artists, as well as the needs of our community," says Ed Pajarito, general manager at Astoria at Central Park West. "This is an aesthetically refreshing venue and rare opportunity to build on existing awareness and appreciation of fine art locally. A private showing in a luxurious penthouse suite overlooking land and sea -- as well as sumptuous hors d'oeuvres, drinks and live music -- will provide a truly intimate setting and a chance for patrons of the arts, including current Astoria residents, to meet the artists, each of whom has invested more than four decades into a body of work prized and collected worldwide."
Inspired by world cultures and earth's natural elements, the artists will give insight to their exhibits and offer design placement for patrons who wish to acquire their original pieces:
- Alan M. Abraham, watercolor painter and designer from Irvine, will unveil his 2017 Chinese Zodiac Animal Symbol watercolor series. An acclaimed calligrapher and illustrator, he is a well-known motion picture industry veteran of more than 20 years.
- Lorraine Passero, a painter and designer from Laguna Beach, will exhibit several acrylic paintings and her Bling Sea Shell collection. Specializing in ocean and beach scenes, she has been featured in magazines and designer showcases worldwide.
- Jon Seeman will display Sculptures in Steel, his latest colorful freestanding contemporary pieces. An esteemed steel sculptor and artist from Laguna Beach, his work is featured at the Laguna Beach Arts Festival, the Contemporary Art Gallery and Museum of Art in Laguna Beach.
