Urban Oasis

3Eleven, NYC

April 11 - May 9, 2024

3Eleven Hudson Yard transforms its space into an artistic oasis in the heart of Manhattan. Curated by Francesca Popescu Ife of FPI Art Initiative and Lara Sleiman, ‘Urban Oasis’ gathers artists inspired by the complexities of urban landscapes. Through lines, volume, and space that mirror the city itself, this exhibition creates a dialogue between the intensities of New York City’s concrete jungle and the creative tranquility it can inspire. From Jeff Quinn's doorways that offer an escape from reality to Daniela Palimariu's blending of surrealistic sculptures with the urban environment, to Bouchra Benhalima's dreamy collages that challenge perception, and Tsuyoshi Suzuki’s steel plates painted with rust that embrace the passage of time 'Urban Oasis' invites viewers to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in moments of artful tranquility.
