Series of Installations in Central Park, 2021
Remember Summer - Tree Hugs is a series of installations in Central Perk created to complement the old masters colors of the park with streaks of red, orange, yellow and blue.
Created by artist Mirena Rhee without the endorsement of the park.
remember summer - can’t wait for spring - tree hugs - minimalist installation in central park inspired by the Colors of Central park which are Old masters colors this time of the year. And the fire ladders all over the park which beckoned to me to splash some color here and there.
I was stalking some trees which look incredibly honest and beautiful this time of the year. If you see a Rembrandt painting you will see the same colors except for Vermilion, Yellow and Ultramarine which at this time of the year are hidden in the colors of the birds.
The colors and the shapes and of course the Fire ladder inspired me to make a few minimal installations which will come back next week just in time for spring. I love working in the park, it is incredibly beautiful but it is also full of culture, which is the mix of street culture of New York city as well as the neighborhood cultures of UES and UWS, the cultures of the performers, the drum circles, the musicians, the bubble guy, the museum going crowd, the Boathouse crowd, the joggers and the bikers and the boarders, and the skaters.
As for myself - if Christo, Marina Abramovich and Dali made a triangle - I'd sit in the middle.
