The Hole is pleased to present Sam's a solo exhibition by Samantha Rosenwald. For her debut solo show with the gallery Rosenwald brings us the mighty yet humble pinball dive bar rendered in colored pencil on canvas, like any good dive bar it’s an adult playground for gluttony, over-indulgence, play, noise and loneliness.
More soon, we promise beer and hot dogs at the opening!
