Local artist Isse Maloi will be displaying his first-ever themed show at the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel, located at 1100 North Central Avenue, this October. The “Water the Daisies” unveiled to the public with an artist’s meet and greet on Friday, October 4 in conjunction with Downtown Phoenix’s First Friday Artwalk. The showcase will remain on display in the Lounge throughout October.
His previous shows have all included a variety of these types of artwork; however, “Water the Daisies” will be solely focused on paintings based on this theme, which he says developed from one piece he did that involved incorporating hand-drawn daisies that resembled a child’s drawings over a portrait.
People took notice of this piece, so Maloi began creating more paintings in this style, which involves beautiful paintings layered with hand-drawn daisies “for no real reason.” The significance behind the theme derives from the idea that people need to take care of what they have — in relationships and all areas of their lives. He adds, “Through this idea, I began painting things and people in my life that I care about. We need to be mindful of the things we need to take care of.”
The show will open on Friday, October 4 with an artist’s reception and meet and greet from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. For more information about FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel and its ever-evolving art program, visit www.foundrehotels.com.
