GrandLife and Passionate Magazine were proud to present Danish artist Ditte Gantriis’ project “A Note on Cravings”, on display at Tribeca Grand Hotel from March 5th - 8th, 2009 coinciding with The Armory Show 2009.  The opening reception was held on March 6th, 2009 with music provided by DJ Lissie Trullie.

Gantriis draws inspiration from several 20th Century movements and other seedier sources to create an elegant and intensely erotic experience. The series introduces a new style of work for the artist, combining illustration and collage techniques. “A Note on Cravings” evokes Russian constructivism, Art Deco, and commercial illustrations of the 1950s. This was Gantriis’ first show in the United States. Gantriis’ work was featured in the debut issue of Passionate Magazine, an emerging-artists portfolio, launching at The Armory Show 2009.

The exhibit was also sponsored by Art Remix Projects, an emerging arts organization based in New York and Paris focused on new models for art production and the art market.
