Some art to Think about on 4th Avenue



East Village-based artist RVEB (aka Russell Butenhof) is debuting a collection of his paintings at Think Coffee on Fourth Avenue tomorrow (Oct. 26) from 6 to 9 p.m.

"I want to get people excited about the idea of art and how it can timestamp our struggles and worries about the complex world we live in," he said in a statement about the show. "The goal is for people who are already thinking about these things to see the canvas as a mirror and know they are not alone."

RVEB will be on hand for the premiere. Moving forward, an abridged collection of his work will remain at the coffee shop, 123 Fourth Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street. This link has more info.

Here's a look at two of his paintings...
