BY ALEX MITCHELL
The Compound is kicking once
again. The contemporary art gallery
teamed up with the NBA Players Association
to unveil its newest feature
titled ‘Players Voice Awards Art Exhibit,’
which tipped off with an exclusive
opening party on Wednesday, August
22.
Awards-winning portraits and abstract
pieces relating to the the best
moments o f the 2019 NBA season hang
all around the three-roomed expose
now, many with connections to the
Bronx.
Legendary New York Yankees muralist
Andre Trenier switched sports
when he painted a very classical interpretation
of Giannis Antetokounmpo,
making the Milwaukee MVP appear
as a marble Olympian like his Greek
predecessors.
Other works on display include Devon
Rodriguez’s hyper realistic painting
of Boston Celtic’s Gordon Hayward
that served as a metaphor for
his Comeback Player Award and the
Vera twins’ cartooning of the Houston
Rockets James Harden.
Guests were still entertained after
glancing over all the pieces with the
newest editions of FIFA and NBA2K
up for grabs to play on Xbox One.
Not to mention the buffet catered by
nearby Mott Haven Bar and Grill was
to die for…especially the fried mac &
cheese balls.
In addition to the artists appreciating
the extraordinary work of their
colleagues, the opening night served
as a chance for notable Bronxites to socialize
as well.
Famed Bronx fashion designer
Jerome Lamaar joined the ranks of
other borough noteables like Bronx
Native creator Amaurys Grullon, The
Bronxer, who also just unveiled a new
collaboration with the Bronx Brewery,
and of course the Compound’s coowner
Set Free Richardson who made
the evening and gallery happen.
The ‘Players Voice Award Arts Exhibit’
will remain on display throughout
September.
