YG x Zwelethu Mthethwa : Umcimbi Cocktail Party

Last night I co-hosted with Marisa Sage (Like the Spice Gallery) a intimate cocktail event in honor of South African artist & my friend Zwelethu Mthethwa. Zwelethu is visiting NYC for few days, so we organized a gathering of artists, collectors, critics & art enthusiast for an evening of cocktails & conversation.

Folks who were in the building also got to see the latest work by Chino Amobi, an emerging Nigerian American painter from VA. Overall it seems that everyone had a good time & made some new connections. I’m hoping to organize another cocktail event very soon…… ;-)

Special shout & thank you to Zwelethu Mthethwa for hanging with us for the evening, Marisa Sage for co-hosting & opening up her beautiful gallery Like the Spice to us for the evening, Kyp Malone for coming thru, Chino Amobi for sharing his art with us and everyone who shared their evening with us. I appreciate it! We definitely will be having more… :-) -!YG

The Black Stars Are Still Shining…… Thank You

It has taken me a week to get over the anguish of watching the Black Stars beat themselves (not lose…… let’s be clear….lol) in the World Cup. Kudos to Uruguay, but we all know what it is. :-)

Although 30 is NOT the new 20, I’m very grateful for all the bday LOVE today. Thank you to all my peeps for being a true blessing in my life. As I enter into a new chapter in my life, it promises to be just as exciting and full of adventure.  Save the date June 23rd. We’ll be partying @ Cielo with my big brothers Rich Nice & Sway in addition to ladies from Parlour Magazine as they celebrate their 2nd Anniversary. Thanks again and God Bless… ;-) – Larry Ossei-Mensah aka YG
