(PRESS RELEASE)_New York, NY (March 2022) – Modern artist Guy Stanley Philoche will be featured in the fifth edition of The Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Art Fair (PBM+C), presented by Art Miami. Cavalier Galleries will be showcasing Philoche’s series New York, I Still Love You, which is a love letter to New York City capturing all the good, the bad, and the ugly but ultimately, why New York City is the greatest city in the world. VIP Preview opens on Thursday, March 24th with the exhibit continuing through Sunday, March 27th at the Palm Beach Convention Center. More information on the Art Fair can be found here. Haitian-born modern artist Guy Stanley Philoche immigrated to Connecticut when he was three. As the middle child of three boys and coming from a family of sports enthusiasts whose passion he didn’t share, Philoche turned to art as his calling. While remaining close to his Haitian Roots, Philoche was the only son to buck his culture’s tradition of the entire family living together and struck out on his own – first attending Paier College of Art and then Yale. He now lives in New York City. For the past 15 years, Guy Stanley Philoche has been attracting international attention with his work and his impressive roster of solo shows. As an artist, Guy’s palette is strong and sophisticated. His layering technique has created a body of paintings so richly textured that one can hardly hold back from reaching out and touching the canvas. In fact, it is the artist’s intent and wish that the viewer will follow their desire to reach out and feel the different textures of his canvases. His work is for the viewer’s pleasure, to be fully enjoyed from a tactile standpoint, and he has varnished the canvases for exactly that reason. DELRAY BEACH – National Oysters on the Half Shell Day is March 31, so get your shuck on at City Oyster and Sushi Bar in Delray Beach. The celebrated half-shell haven and executive chef Jordan Stilley will offer plump and juicy $1 oysters during Happy Hour, including 2-for-1 cocktails, beer, and select wine pours from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the bar only. Guests who order a dozen oysters on the half shell (market price) will receive a complimentary glass of chilled prosecco. City Oyster’s rotating oyster varieties include: Bluepoint Named after a Long Island town, they are mild with subtle saltiness and pair well with traditional condiments like cocktail sauce. Beau Soleil These meaty bivalves are prided for their delicate flavor profile and hail from New Brunswick, Canada. Gigamoto Tuck into one and enjoy sweet-and-sour brine followed by a mineral finish. Irish Point Identifiable by their thin, green shells, this pint-sized variant is big on buttery flavor. Kumamoto Considered the perfect oyster by many, the meat has a mild brininess, sweet flavor, and honeydew finish. Kusshi Japanese for “precious,” these guys are known for their clean, delicate flavor. Malpeque PEI’s most famous oyster, these delicate beauties taste great with a cold beer. Savage Blonde These light-colored ladies from Savage Harbour, PEI started out as a joke, and tout a seriously delicious briny flavor. So good, you'll be humming "Beyond the Sea" by the last slurp. We think Bobby Darin would approve. City Oyster & Sushi Bar is located at 213 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach. For more information, call (561) 272- 0220 or visit cityoysterdelray.com.
