IT'S ALL THERE ALREADY

Reception for the Artist Thursday, November 5th from 6 -8PM

September 19, 2009—New York, NY—Fred Torres Collaborations is proud to
present It's All There Already, the first solo exhibition of artist George Rahme. It's All There
Already will be on view from November 5, 2009 to January 23, 2010. Fred Torres
Collaborations is located at 527 W. 29th Street on the third floor.
George Rahme's bucolic canvases explore themes surrounding the everyday activities of
"the common man" – paying homage to the work of fishermen, hunters, and amateur
explorers. He finds inspiration in the poetry of Khalil Gibran, the videos and paintings of Jan
& Eva Svankmajer, and the underground techno scene of Detroit. It's All There Already
includes fifteen paintings ranging from intimate studies to sweeping, large scale pastoral
scenes.
Born in Lansing, Michigan to Lebanese immigrant parents, Rahme attended the College for
Creative Studies in his hometown and graduated with High Honors in 2007. In addition to
his career as a visual artist, he is an accomplished DJ and musician who has released
records, toured Europe and the US, and makes frequent appearances in the thriving
Detroit underground scene.
