BASK: CASS Contemporary Art Space & Studio
Ongoing daily in the Epicurean Library Lounge
Last chance this month to catch our fifth featured artist, BASK, brings his richly textural works that imbue his “ant-iconic” and sometimes satirical worldview, with an undercurrent of dark emotion. You may have seen his art displayed along the streets of Hyde Park Village. Now you also have the chance stop by our lobby and inside Élevage for a limited time to see his masterpieces. Looking for the perfect gift for the art lover in your life? BASK’s work is also available for purchase. For a sneak peek at the collection, view it here.
