Bombay Sapphire took over the RUSH Arts Gallery in Chelsea. More than, 400 guests were welcomed to enjoy specialty cocktails, art, and a good time. Guests, which included actors Romany Malco and Khalil Kain received branded giveaways for posting their experience on their social media accounts using the Artisan Series hashtag (#ArtisanSeries). Twenty visual artists were showcased at the Artisan Series. The exhibit was considered some of the best artwork to be shown at the gallery to date.
The New York City winner was none other than, Steven D’Arbenzio whose artwork “The Ghosts Inside” was the highlight of the night.
He spoke with the media the inspiration for it. “The inspiration was, the human condition. We all have demons, and we all have ghosts. My paintings illustrate every day people struggling with the ghosts they hide inside. The world is good at making us hide who we are”. D’Arbenzio also mentioned that he draws inspiration from the people he loves.
