�Brooklyn, NY�Gitana Rosa Gallery invites you to attend the opening
reception of The Manhattan Project, a solo exhibition of mixed media
paintings by the artist Tom Bob.� A public reception will be held with
the artist on Friday May 8th from 7-10pm in conjunction with the
Williamsburg Gallery Association�s every second Friday art walk.

�The Manhattan Project expresses the energy, color, moods and emotions
of past, present, and future worlds.� Gitana Rosa brings you a
distinct sampling of art works created in different neighborhoods around
Manhattan by Tom Bob.� Each body of work could be said to mirror a
stage in our version of the universal cycle of life.

�The �image� series of paintings with its layered process reflects
the complexities of our modern world and its intricate layers of
subtlety-hidden symbols, hierarchies and the notion of ying to yang.
These copious amounts of information and complexity drive things forward
ever faster towards a point of overload, wherein they become
obsolete.� Left to decay as obsolete debris a new form emerges.

�The �broken� or �unfinished� series of multimedia paintings
with its layers of stopand start, minimalist approach and delicate
balance arises from a point where the structures of society have all
broken down.� All the digital noise, structure and complexity have
disappeared and a sense of calm has settled in.� From the debris and
rubble a mixture of all things past meld together and a new biological
balance arises.� These ideas of the new world and its biological
structures, shapes and forms are thus the new life.� This completing
the cycle and beginning the process anew, and possibly asking, is a
harmonious connected way of living the meaning of life.

Tom Bob has been living and working in NYC for over 20 years.� He has
exhibited at group shows in Boston and New York.� His �Barack
Obama� painting was one of 30 finalists of 1,200 entries for Manifest
Hope Gallery of Moveon.org.� His most recent commissions include a
painting for Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center at Brigham
and Women�s Hospital in Boston and designing bathroom accessories for
Peanuts, the most beloved comic strip in history created by Charles M.
Shulz.
