One Art Space, Tribeca, NY, is proud to present multidisciplinary artist Roger Sichel’s “Iconic Smokin’ Hot Kiss.” Over the decades, Sichel has collaborated with luminaries including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Gore Vidal, and Milos Forman, and has produced landmark concert tours for artists such as The Doors, Four Seasons, and more.

Sichel’s portfolio encompasses photography, painting, and mixed media, offering a collection that intertwines artistic genres and shows a fearlessness to try new mediums and approach controversial subjects. Over the years, Sichel has become one of the premiere archivers of the “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” era of the 1960s and 1970s. Sichel’s iconic “Smokin’ Hot Kiss,” taken at the legendary 1969 Woodstock Festival, will be on view at One Art Space gallery, as well as the Marilyn Monroe series, re-imagined through a psychedelic perspective with bold filters and vivid colors.

Iconic Smokin Hot Kiss exhibition also features recent digital works that reflect the artist's engagement with technological innovation. In the 1990s and 2000s, Sichel took a detour from photography to work on producing and licensing the Autocorrect function we all use in our daily lives, so he is no stranger to how tech can drastically change the world. Sichel’s “neo-pop mixed media digital art” on view in Iconic Smokin’ Hot Kiss is inspired by both his own life and contemporary political issues. 

The show will open with a VIP champagne reception on Thursday, September 25th, from 6:00pm – 9:00 pm, where guests will enjoy champagne, small bites, and an exclusive first look at Sichel’s iconic work.
