Emerging Artist Christian Mitchell Launches his First Show Hosted at The Hole NYC October 25, 2011 from 6-9pm

Christian Mitchell will present Mental Circus, his first solo show of photograph, prints and installation pieces at The Hole in NYC, 312 Bowery. While this is Christian's first show he is not new to the art scene or its creative world. His work is an exploration in transformation and self-discovery. His current body of work calls upon technical skill and imagination pushed to the extreme.

Meghan Coleman (previously with Deitch Project) has been providing regular feedback on the project. She and others like Kathy Grayson, Kembra Pfahler, and Hagen Linss have encouraged him to refine the body of work by focusing on the transformation of himself only. “I met Kembra of Voluptuous Horror of karen Black while working on a collaborative event at M⋅A⋅C Cosmetics. I had admired her work since the early 90s. She has become a really good friend and mentor.” Christian was recently introduced to curator Donna Kessinger, who is now assisting with the project.
