The artists of Lorimer Station Studios (LSS) proudly announce their second annual spring art show which will be held on Friday May 17, 2002 at 6:00pm. LSS in Williamsburg is a collective of passionate artists who share ideas and inspiration in a dynamic environment. Founded 8 years ago by artist Krzysztof (Chris) Pytlak, Lorimer Station Studio was transformed from an abandoned factory loft on Metropolitan Avenue into a thriving hive of painting, drawing, thought and energy. The artists of LSS consider the place an artistic educational center. They congregate for life drawing sessions that also include artists from outside of the studio. This, of course, adds to and compliments the unique atmosphere that has been created by the artists at LSS. They all take an interest in each other's work. Lorimer Station Studio is a family of artists working in many different mediums and many different styles. Oil, acrylic, pastel, assemblage, photography, and textile paint are just some of the mediums used to create works of art that are conceptual, figurative, expressionist, surreal, academic and pop. It is fair to say that this studio is bustling with activity both night and day. The artists of LSS have succeeded in creating a rare thing: a true workspace that puts dedication first. It isn't just an art studio. For many, it is home. Lorimer Station Studio has created a niche for itself in the neighborhood and has established friendships and partnerships through their art shows. Ipcress F (i.e, the Shipwreckers) provided the music for the fall exhibition, and this year we will have the pleasure of presenting live music by Andrew Shapiro and colleagues. Please join the artists of LSS and their family and friends in this celebration. Stop in for a drink, listen to the music, and look at the art. It is guaranteed that around every corner you will see or hear something that you will enjoy. You never know what you might discover. The opening is Friday May 17, 2002 from 6-9pm and continues Saturday May 18 - Tuesday May 22, 11 -5pm.
