German-American COC Holds Art Opening at CresaPartners

The German-American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. New York celebrated 15 years of young executive networking in the German-American business community with an art opening on April 30th, 2009, hosted by CresaPartners.  The event featured German-born New York artist, Jim Avignon, who exhibited his latest work.

Avignon employs a narrative structure in his paintings to present political, social, artistic and pop-cultural themes through motifs from the world of fables and fairy tales, using animals as his subject to represent the human condition.  His works have served as a stage for a wide variety of protagonists taken from cartoons, anime and fantasy settings.  The bright, cheerful mood that prevails in his paintings conceals a feeling of the unknown creeping in the background.
