The Seville Club, exhibited the brand new works of U.K. artist Louisa Greenstock from March 11th through March 25th, 2006. The Seville Club is located in Minneapolis, MN. "My goal was to create a beautiful, elegant space where our guests could relax and let their cares fade away," said Dino, owner of the Seville. "Our guests appreciate the finer things in life, and art is certainly one of them. Currently, the Seville features fine artwork from Polish artist Joanna Zjawinska and Chinese artist Jiang Tiefeng. When Louisa approached me with the idea of holding an art show in the club, it made perfect sense to me."

"The minute I walked into the Seville, I knew I had to have a show there!" exclaimed Louisa Greenstock. "Dino Perlman has created a remarkable space that in many ways echoes the look and feel of a Warehouse District art gallery. There is plenty of wall area, and as an artist I longed to fill it with paintings that would reflect the energy and vibrancy of the club."

The Seville Club's historic roots helped inspire the new works to be unveiled at the opening, explains Louisa Greenstock. "I learned that the Seville Club stands in the same site as the former Seville Hotel, which in the 1920's and 30's hosted popular stars from the Broadway, Vaudeville and Burlesque circuits. The classic charm and architecture of the club inspired me to explore film noire and pulp art imagery. I also delved into the history of burlesque, coming across images of such stars as Gypsy Rose Lee and Sally Rand."
