MARCUS® HOTELS & RESORTS TO HOST APRIL GALLERY NIGHT EXHIBITSThe Pfister Hotel will introduce newly named Artist-in-Residence Pamela Anderson, while InterContinental Milwaukee’s Gallerie M will host The Zodiac Series
MILWAUKEE – APR. 13, 2016 –The Pfister® Hotel and InterContinental® Milwaukee, both owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, will host exhibits as part of the Historic Third Ward’s Gallery Night on Friday, April 15 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. A reception at The Pfister Hotel will follow in the Rouge Ballroom from 9:00 p.m. – 11:30 p.m. to welcome new Artist-in-Residence, Pamela Anderson, and will include special guests from The Florentine Opera. The Pfister Hotel During a post-Gallery Night reception from 9:00 p.m. – 11:30 p.m., The Florentine Opera Studio Artists will perform a medley of songs at Anderson’s debut celebration while she paints live, interacting with their music in the Rouge Ballroom. Music by DJ Solo will follow the Florentine Opera performance with a dance party and celebration of Pamela from 10:00 – 11:30 p.m. Complementary snacks and a cash bar will be available for guests partaking in the celebration. The Florentine Opera will perform the following selections: Anderson finds abstract qualities of aerial views inspirational and finds this subject matter meditative and calming. She works to paint a “familiar” landscape but so abstract that it becomes nonobjective. Her process utilizes large mops, tools and huge brushes to puddle, drip and scrape the surfaces of her work. Influenced by works by Viera de Silva and Richard Diebenkorn, she works in layers, underpainting with dark saturated paint and then adding and subtracting areas with opaque or semi-opaque colors to give her works depth and perspective. Her bold use of color and shapes are dramatic yet playful.
