Opening December 21st

Spaysky Fine Art Gallery llc is thrilled to announce the opening of Untitled, a new exhibition by Detroit creative icon Simone Else. Working with similar themes and materials in her other practices (clothing, performance, flash tattoo, etc.), Untitled presents a gallery installation of object-based artworks. Using formal and functional elements, Simone plays with the relationships of the decorative and the practical and explores the captivating tension they can form together in an object. Pulling from modernist formalism, domestic home decor and lighting design, car culture, childhood bedrooms, craft culture, feminine flourishes, and blue-collar grit, Else smashes these elements into a unique installation of weirdo countercultural objects.

Untitled will have an opening reception on Saturday, December 21st, 2024, from 6-9 pm and will be on exhibit in the gallery until January 11th, 2025. Open Saturdays from 1-5 pm and by appointment
