Hiromart Gallery is pleased to invite you to The Collection Show scheduled from January 6th to 27th.

The show consists of artworks by the artists we hosted and worked together in 2012. The same as the previous year’s collection show, the artworks can be purchased on the spot, and also we will stay OPEN LATE on Wednesdays until 8pm for much-loved Gallery Night. We hope the show will be a good opportunity to show our artists’ artworks in one place and to introduce the gallery projects in 2012.

Sebastian Piras is an Italian-born, New York City-based artist who has exhibited his photography and film work internationally. Early on in his career, Piras was encouraged by Andy Warhol, whom he met through Robert Mapplehrope, to focus on artists’ portraits. This led to his well-known series “Artists Exposed”, captivating portraits of known and emerging artists and heavy-hitters in the international arts scene, including Andy Warhol, Roy Liechtenstein etc. David Ross, former Director of the Whitney Museum, heralded Piras' photos as, " ...probing and extraordinarily beautiful portraits of artists...that ultimately produces winners at both ends of the camera." These photos have been published in two books: Artists Exposed and A Pocketful of Contemporary Artists Portraits, using images taken from 1986 till 2006.
