OPENING RECEPTION

Antoine Soued

AT THE COLLABORATIVE LAB

Thursday, July 3rd from 6-8pm

508 Main Street, Warren

From under the red lights of barrooms to neon lights of architecture school, Antoine Soued poured his blues drenched soul into cheap whiskey and black ink.

An architect by day dressed in minimal attire and spit-shined shoes, he sheds his adopted persona comes nighttime, and disappears into his self-created deranged reality of villains, superheros and tobacco women.

With no retirement plan or a trust fund, he wanders about looking for an interesting view to consume, absorb, and then spit out on the whiteness of a paper. 

His vagabond days have led him on some peculiar sketching routes, between the cool of the evening on a Parisian boulevard to watching the sun come up overTokyo's skyline.

His only published work, to date, is an auto-portrait that hangs on the wall of one of Beirut's oldest barbershops.

Bon voyage.
