fig east painting studio

James and Michele Gustin have launched the fine art branch of fig media incorporated. This week marks the opening of fig east, our first gallery and artist studio space located right next door to fig media inc the other side of the tracks at 1118 W Granville. Michele has moved her current series of large scale work 60" square based on Tang Dynasty figures and other exciting works into the space and is delighted at having room to expand. Some of you may know that Michele has been painting and selling her pictures since she was five, she's still five, still painting and selling her pictures and now she has a big studio to play in. 1500 square feet of raw Uptown space complete with dramatic structural arches and gravel terrazzo floors. We stripped it clean, everything is out, even the toilet sits exposed in the space. And as there is no heating or cooling, we are planning for an elemental winter. Michele is delighted, she has plenty of room to expand and James is excited to see Michele blossom and to have people stopping by already asking if the work is for sale. That's what I'm talkin'bout.
We will have a grand opening party so look for regular updates from fig east and an invite!
