1xRUN and Wallplay gallery, in association with the Millennial Group and curator Greg Cummins, are pleased to announce the group exhibition Time. The “Time” installation is comprised of works from 15 contemporary artists of varying technique who explore the concept through several mediums. After considering the vast subject, artists including David Barnett, Bradley Theodore, Lawrence “Naturel” Atoigue, Brian Kirhagis and Jay West each conceived original pieces that will be unveiled at Wallplay in the heart of Manhattan’s Lower East Side on Wednesday, October 22nd. Simultaneously, 1xRUN.com will offer a virtual exhibition and access to limited edition print versions of select originals all available in special timed editions. Each edition will be set to the number sold and once they are done will be closed forever.

“What’s special about this exhibition is that it’s a conclave of this vanguard movement of creators, some of whom are just beginning to make their mark” says Cummins, who likens the experience to the role of agent Phil Coulson assembling the Avengers. “It’s an opportunity to view, and maybe own a piece of, a rare moment of shared focus.”

This RUN comes signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity from Christophe Roberts and 1xRUN.

From As early as 12 years old he remembers using shapes as a part of his process. Not only do shapes have symbiotic value, Christophe recognizes the power in space and the imperativeness of using whatever he deemed necessary to elucidate an emotion—which eventually evolved from constructing works from memory as a youth, to creating enormous visual pieces in the abstract and the wildly metamorphic creations of his sculptures with both digital compositions and well crafted carvings that emphasizes the importance of finding authenticity in his own work. In many ways, inspiration and motivation comes growing up around the strong women in his life, “My family is very creative and truly inspired me to express my creativity. My mother is a strong female entrepreneur who taught for over thirty years before becoming a principal. My aunt, Gloria Ward, managed art centers around Chicago for inner city youth so these two women were great influences.”
