FANATIC BY RUVAN WIJESOORIYA

RECENT WORKS AND FAN ART BY RUVAN WIJESOORIYA

OPENING RECEPTION MAY 28th 6-9pm 

On view May 28 - June 30th 2011

Rouge 58 is proud to present the exhibition FANATIC: Recent Works and Fan Art by Ruvan Wijesooriya. Contrasting his past ephemeral exhibitions where the work is taken away and the audience is engaged as participants, “FANATIC” reflects on Ruvan’s work with artists, personalities, musicians, bands, models and more. Iggy Pop, Vivienne Westwood, Mark Ronson, James Murphy, Ellen Page, Aziz Ansari, Anne V, Anouck Lepere, and Anna Wintour are some of the people celebrated in the photographs. Collaborations with various musicians and illustrators will also be on display.

The printing formats vary to include high-end framed gallery prints, D.I.Y. posters, hand-screened t-shirts, custom publications and 8x12” photographic C-Prints sold with accompanying 55x34” prints made for the collector to assemble at home, much like furniture Ikea.
