Urban Zen and Tutto Il Giorno in conjunction with Ralph Pucci International bring Rebecca Moses’s exhibit “Bubblegum, Lipstick and Hope” to Sag Harbor.
“Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope” is an exhibit of female portraiture by artist Rebecca Moses, reflecting hope, passion, determination, and the desire to stay true to one’s own voice even in the most challenging of times. The body of work expands Moses’ signature style: connecting art with fashion. It speaks to the state of mind that has emerged from the struggles and silver linings of the last few years. It is a tribute to women, their strength, and their uniqueness of being, capturing the yearning for celebration and renewal of one’s self.
“How do we hold on to our sanity, aspirations, and dreams when life challenges become unbearable?” explained Moses of her vision. “In a sense, when I lifted my pens and brushes, it was like Alice falling into the rabbit hole, a chance to dream. It was an escape to a world I wanted to envision. Sometimes you just need to pop a bubble and put on some red lipstick to restore your hope in life and belief in one’s self.”
Donna Karan stated, “Having known Rebecca for so many years and watching her grow as a designer, as a mother, as a world traveler, and as an artists, she is able to capture the art of a woman in all her power, strength, style, and individuality. Each and every painting, captures the unique style of every woman, from their environment and their fashion to to their expression and lifestyle. What an honor it is to know Rebecca and see the expression of her soul. Thank you Rebecca for connecting the fashion and art here at Urban Zen and for inspiring me everyday with your talent and your passion!”
“Its such an honor to have an artist like Rebecca bring such color and life into Tutto Il Giorno and Urban Zen’s environment. Her art, style, and her passion for fashion is so apparent in her work and has enlightened the walls of Tutto and connected the elements of food, culture, individuality, and style into one colorful story,” said Gaby Karan.
The Exhibit will open officially August 6 at Tutto Il Giorno and Urban Zen in Sag Harbor.
