Opening Reception of EN ROUTE This Saturday in Jersey City

EN ROUTE
a two-room solo show featuring Pajtim Osmanaj

WHEN: Opening Reception, Saturday, June 8th, from 7-11pm 
WHERE: DEEP SPACE GALLERY, 77 Cornelison Ave., Jersey City

Pajtim doesn't dwell on borders.

His travel documents include pigment and paper, and he gets a thrill from "covering up" large surfaces under folds of mixed media assemblage.

EN ROUTE speaks to your journey. The exhibition, co-curated with KV Projects, features a new look at Pajtim's works on paper, installation, and ceramic sculpture in various permutations of color, steepness, and contrast. These busy bodies of work are incredible!
