Finding Our place with in the Space

When first stepping into the warehouse space its a little cold, kinda lifeless. You walk a little deeper in to the warehouse  to a large cooler door, you can feel a warm energy radiating as you approach. Sliding the back the cooler door back, the lights reflecting of the silver walls inside bring a sudden jolt of stimulation to the senses, but this is just the beginning. As you proceed into the studio you become surround by  vibrant pieces of art work ranging small to large created by Artist Angelbert Metoyer. The studio was once the old cooler for an Budweiser distribution plant in Houston,Texas. Now its home to Angelbert Imagination Studios, where Metoyer spends his time creating the objects that play in his imagination, one of these ideas is a sound installation collaboration Moteyor and the Houston based rapper BLACKIE created. ( us.myspace.com/blackieblackieblackie)  The installation seems right at home in the corner of the space, just waiting to provide its own sound of art to the Space.  On the wall behind the sound installation towers 4 ft tall pieces of plywood with a portrait of Blackie, Metoyer created after filming the rapper using a blow torch. (more information on this piece is below) Quenching his thirst to create Metoyer has transformed doors old from a an abandon hotel into works of Art. The space shows the dynamic range of  Metoyer from simple  drawings to multi layered painted Masterpieces that stretch 12ftx20ft.  The space and the Art work within it speak the universal languages of Science, Math and Spirituality, so that everyone that comes to see the space may understand what Angelbert's Imagination is trying to explain to us. The Imagery draws you in and the message within the Imagery leaves you wanting to hear more from him.  
For us to share with those like sharing themselves with you  ........  (opening reception in early 2013 )
