Day 11: Wounded Cities:Orsini Tarantal

Last night Crossworlds hosted another opening of the mindblowing art of Orsini Tarantal whose long awaited 'Wounded Cities' exhibition made its debut at Crossworlds Gallery last night. Above you can see Orsini chatting to Fabiline Cortes (owner of Crossworlds Gallery along with her partner Nerd Bert) with Beirut behind and Stalingrad to their right and Hanoy to the left.


I was lucky enough to be there as Toby was DJing and could not resist purchasing Jersualem to add to my own collection. Emma Fargis is to my left and the enchanting cloud is Karelia Kondor both good friends to Crossworlds.



As you can see each of the ten works is a magnificant triptych. Arturo Martinsyde the singer reflects deeply on Dresden.


Reading from right to left, Bagdad (snagged by Toby, not to be outdone by me), Hiroshima and Manhatten.

There are ten cities in the serious. Each of which has been a victim in one way or another. Orsini makes us think of the impact on the city as an entity as well as its inhabitants.




From right to left Beirut, Hanoy, Madrid, and Santiago de Chile.


 Fergus Solari, who was there with his  beautiful partner Azini Avedon, chats to the artist and gallery owner.


The exhibition can be found at Crossworlds on the 15th floor.
Dont miss it!
