On Thursday Night,
Joseph Gross Gallery opened an exhibition of new work from artist Joseph Grazi. Titled,
Cecil: A Love Story , Grazi uses a variety of media including drawing and taxidermy to examine the public moral compass and perceived aesthetic value via the recent public debate surrounding the Zimbabwean icon Cecil the Lion.
A packed opening event saw attendees taking selfies with the gigantic wall of taxidermy bats and butterflies. Guests included Austen Tostone, Karolina Wallace, Vincent Harrison and more.
