Re:View Contemporary

444 W. Willis, #112
Detroit MI 48201

This gallery is now known as Simone DeSousa Gallery, after its founder, owner and director, Simone DeSousa. The change of name does not signal a change in ethos or aesthetics.

Let's face it: the old name, despite its eccentric punctuation, was extremely bland, plus it couldn't really help Google rankings. Simone DeSousa Gallery continues the Re:View Contemporary track record for flawless presentation.

The website was changed over very quickly. Facebook and other social media lagged behind for a few weeks. But for most people, the change was easy, since it had always been Simone DeSousa Gallery in their minds.

Reviews

• Sarah Rose Sharp, "An Artist Turns Invasive Plants into Paper Sculptures", Hyperallergic, April 7, 2015.
• Jim Welke, "A Myriad of One :: Simone DeSousa", artifizz, May 17, 2013. "The surfaces of most of Ms. DeSousa's works exhibit an undulating, sensuous texture, which adds to the warmth. None suggest a cold, mechanical topography. You want to touch them, but know you can not. They beckon like temptresses. The three-dimensionality adds to that sensation. The laminated, layered edges suggest growth rings in timber — time passes, layers accumulate during growth, growth implies continuity — organic continuity."
