“Luminaries” by LAB at The Rockwell Group

In honor of the celebration of Hanukkah, we thought it festive to share the lanterns at Brookfield Place! The display titled “Luminaries” was created by LAB at Rockwell Group, a design studio focused on creating “memorable and evocative experiences by merging story, architecture, and technology.” Unlike other light shows, spectators are able to control the colors of the lanterns themselves or they can sit back and observe one of the scheduled light shows. Located in the Winter Garden in Brookfield place, this display is available to enjoy throughout the holiday season until January 6!

The City

We came upon this mural in Hudson Yards. Created by the Bronx-based artist, Marsh Made Art, the goal of the art according to Marsh, “is to make people happy. I want to capture the feeling you get when you look at something and smile (inside and out). What better way to do that than through LOVE?”. Wishing everyone a happy Friday!

A Post-Thanksgiving Stroll

After your Thanksgiving feast or holiday celebration, what about a stroll through the Marsha P. Johnson Park in Brooklyn if you are in the area.  We loved our recent visit which was supremely relaxing. 

In this season of thanks, we extend our sincere appreciation to the exceptional individuals who contribute to the success of Daryanani Law Group—from our dedicated team and valued clients, to our families, friends and extensive support network. Your commitment and partnership make each day extraordinary. From all of us at DLG, we hope you are enjoying a lovely Thanksgiving holiday weekend!

“What if They Bark?” by Cosima von Bonin

After a day filled with legal work, we decided to take a leisurely stroll along the High Line. To our surprise, we encountered a delightful scene—a school of fish engaged in a performance! Crafted by German artist Cosima von Bonin these fish are arranged like a military band, holding musical instruments and checkered missiles. Von Bonin, who has a deep interest in marine life, frequently incorporates these whimsical aquatic creatures into her art.

This light-hearted installation was inspired by the classical statue arrangements seen in ancient Greek temples. However, departing from the customary depictions of gods and heroes, the artist places sea creatures on land, engaging in human-like activities such as playing music. Fortunately for von Bonin's fans, she has created numerous similar installations and sculptures, which have been housed in the past at prestigious New York art institutions such as MoMA and the Petzel Gallery. 

"Everyday Heroes" by Katya Leonovich

Katya Leonovich's "Everyday Heroes" exhibition is a poignant tribute to the often-overlooked individuals who keep New York's vibrant rhythm alive. With her artistic roots in Moscow, Russia, Katya's journey took her to the bustling streets of Rome, where she thrived in the world of fashion design, collaborating with icons like Madonna. In 2008, she brought her immigrant perspective to New York, where her art now celebrates the essential roles played by the city's everyday heroes, such as cleaners, construction workers, barbers, taxi drivers, electricians, policemen, firemen, and waiters.

This exhibition not only pays homage to these unsung individuals but also resonates with aspects of the immigrant experience, reflecting the diverse narratives that enrich New York. In "Everyday Heroes," Katya Leonovich's portraits offer a poignant glimpse into the lives of those who often remain unseen in the urban hustle, capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Her work mirrors the resilience and creativity of New York, presenting a heartfelt narrative of the city's heroes who go unnoticed. Don't miss the chance to experience this compelling gallery, as it closes its doors on November 13th!
