ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
Upon entering the Riviera Gallery, the viewer will be brought into a completely different environment that combines natural and manmade elements.
The walls of the gallery are covered by one mural, depicting a vast wooded landscape. Interspersed on these walls are various two dimensional works by Andrew Poneros and Alex Holden. Throughout the gallery are a variety of street sign oriented sculptures by Leon Reid. Metal trees are placed throughout the gallery.The floor of the gallery is completely covered in synthetic grass. Audible is a discreet mix of bird calls and car horns.
In addition to these sculptures and trees, there are several signposts, featuring street sign oriented work by all three artists. Their intention is to explore the relationship between urban and natural space and structure.
