This Friday at 7PM, Vincent Michael Gallery in the Piazza presents Hidden Realizations with Tom French and Chloe Faith Urban.
Through exploring the juxtaposition of subject matter, form and color, Tom French and Chloe Urban focus on capturing particular moments, experiences and expressions of realizations whether they are instantly visible or hidden between layers. Resulting in the viewer drawing upon their own life experiences to form their connection and perception of the work. To allow for a heightened sense of awareness and fully experience French and Urban’s explorations of illusions and identity, Vincent Michael will incorporate an added element of technology, allowing the viewer a great sense of engagement and experience with each artist and their work.
Vincent Michael Gallery is thrilled to welcome emerging artist, Chloe Urban and UK based contemporary artist Tom French for our September exhibition, ‘Hidden Realizations’. This will be French’s North American debut and largest exhibition of his oeuvre to date. This experience-based exhibition will be open to the public Friday, September 3rd through Saturday, September 25th.
Limited edition prints from Tom French will be available as well.

Tonight Vincent Michael aka VM Gallery opens with their second exhibition fullyLOADED. Originally planned as their initial exhibition in June, the group show features 13 artists.
we’re pleased to feature Philadelphia’s own Thomas Buildmore and Morgan Thomas of OverKill Studios, Philadelphia. Special for fullyLOADED, Thomas Buiildmore has produced a Limited Edition Embellished Print featuring his signature and iconic ‘Big Boy’ painting. Morgan Thomas, artist extraordinaire, will create a one of a kind installation piece specifically for the opening reception of fullyLOADED.
In addition, Vincent Michael Gallery is honored to showcase new works by New York City based artist Shawn Bishop Leo who describes her work as multi-layered paintings “oscillating between the coy and the fierce, a sort of parlay between dominance and submission. She has exhibited her work extensively both in New York City, L.A., Miami and now Philadelphia.
Rounding out our robust lineup is New York City based artist Scott Chasse and OverKill Boston member Kenji Nakayama who continue to defy contemporary boundaries with Chasse’s pop culture references and Nakayama’s intricate hand-made stencils. We’re also delighted to feature the illustrative works of artists Edward Robin-Coronel, Jim Bradshaw and Michele Melcher.
fullyLOADED at VM Gallery runs until the 28th and will be open tonight from 6 – 9. Vincent Michael Gallery is located in the Piazza near PYT and Amberella.

After having to cancel their first show and nearly opening in a temporary space for an indeterminate time, this Friday marks the opening of Vincent Michael Gallery in the Piazza with their first show “PaperMonster Ate That Little Boy”.
Behind the scenes, the gallery was quickly coming together for their first show in June until the owners applied for an occupancy permit from Licensing & Inspections. They twice went to the L&I office in person, and were met with roadblocks. Each time they went, they had to explain what an art gallery was and were met with incredulous questions as to why anyone would pay for art in the first place. After explaining to them for an hour the second time, they finally made headway and were able to speak with a manager who gave them quick verbal approval. The paperwork would be done within two days and they could focus on the artists. However, a week went by and at 4:44 PM, 2 days before their delayed opening, they received an email denying their occupancy. After having several previous tenants in the same space and being exactly the same as the other spaces in the Piazza, L&I informed them that all previous tenants were approved erroneously and that Vincent Michael Gallery would be required to apply for a variance if they wished to open. Needless to say, Tower Investments, the developer behind the Piazza, were completely shocked. At this point, there wasn’t much that VMG could do. The space as it had been built was not up to code.

Nose Go has a brand new t-shirt entitled Undercover. It’s a limited edition, hand printed, black and white colorway on a cream colored shirt. Shirts are $25 and they’re already sold out of mediums after debuting this morning, so you better act fast!
Art In the Open Philly starts today and features 35 artists creating art outside over the next 4 days primarily along the banks of the Schuykill River Park.
Here, free to all audiences, selected artists work with brushes, cameras, sewing machines, pens, and hammers, to respond to this historic and environmentally unique local setting. The public is invited to walk among the artists and observe their process of creation and craft up close. Park visitors can also make their own art at select locations along the riverbank path and join in related events offered by a wide partnership of the city’s cultural organizations.
AiO is a new festival that celebrates the Philadelphia landscape as both inspiration and as an open-air studio for artists.
