Art and Opera at the Loft
July 13, 2008
Produced by Nollstudio, Jay Landis and Daniel Noll, and sponsored by the Prudential Real Estate Group, Art and Opera in the Loft, featuring the work of Daniel Noll from San Diego and Alfonso Arambula from Ensenada, Mexico, brought together the most interesting assortment of connosiours you’ve ever seen, the operatic talents of three of Mexicos finest young stars and an incredible assortment of hors de voirs (Whole Food in only 12 block away), that and valee parking, created an occassion not to be missed.
The Sculpture – Billy – a lifesize sculpture of the famous Phoenix Zoo Orangutan by the same name, was the featured work of the sculptor Daniel Noll. This copy was donated to the Orangutan Foundation and will be used to increase awareness of the plight of this incredible species. The original bronze is part of the award winning series of work at the Phoenix Zoo called “Feel the Difference”. “I spent many hours in close proximity to Billy, although well out of arms reach, trying to capture both his likeness and personality, that is, perhaps, better explained as an attitude he had toward his situation.” stated the artist.
