Hang Outs... West 29th Street, New York



George Rahme's second solo exhibition with Fred Torres Collaborations
Opening Reception September 8th, 6 - 8 PM
On view September 8th - October 8th

NEW YORK: Fred Torres Collaborations presents Riot of Life, George Rahme’s second solo exhibition in New York, on view from September 8 to October 8. Fred Torres Collaborations is located at 527 West 29th Street, New York. There will be an opening reception on September 8 from 6 to 8 PM. The artist will be present.

In Riot of Life, Rahme is working primarily in large-scale collage landscape. He uses a variety of found materials as a base, from discarded wood panels and antique store landscapes to glossy print advertisements, and from there builds up intricate assemblages of images. His source material comprises everything from tawdry covers of romance novels to photographs of buildings in the aftermath of disaster.

Rahme lives and works outside of Detroit. He attended the College for Creative Studies in Lansing, graduating with High Honors in 2007. In addition to his career as a working artist, Rahme is an accomplished DJ and musician who has toured the United States and Europe and makes frequent appearances in the thriving Detroit underground music scene. He has exhibited at the Oakland University Art Gallery, the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids, MI, and at the Detroit Artists Market.
