Special Event: July 15th from 11AM – 1PM
As the FIFA World Cup Series enters its last week, Shelley Himmelstein has been actively keeping up with her new series of watercolors commemorating this incredibly exciting series. Please join us for the finals on Sunday, July 15th from 11AM-1PM as Shelley completes her last work in the gallery while watching the final game here live. A fun event, we will have refreshments connected to the countries in the finals, but feel free to bring any celebratory snacks or dishes.
Shelley Himmelstein’s Soccerscapes – FIFA World Cup Series
Shelley says of this work: “This project started over 20 years ago when, caught up by the pageantry and excitement of the FIFA World Cup, I made a series of drawings from the 1994 games as a springboard for paintings. Subsequently, every four years I’ve continued to explore the rich visual dynamics of these soccer matches with the constraint that each composition be realized during a live TV broadcast. Someday, I hope to stage an exhibition that invites people to witness the evolution of a new series while enjoying the broadcasts; by the final, the walls will be filled with past and present compositions.”
Figureworks is pleased to offer this exhibition to Shelley. Though only able to highlight a small, varied selection of works from these many series, it is also with great anticipation that we can witness her creating this years watercolor series live during the final playoffs on July 15th.
