ANP ARTIST SAGE VAUGHN RECENTLY OPENED THE 'ALEXIS ROSS MUSEUM' TO HOUSE HIS LATEST EXHIBITION, REFLECTIONS TO A MUSE. "THIS EXHIBITION'S TITLE, 'REFLECTIONS TO A MUSE' ILLUSTRATES THIS RELATIONSHIP PERFECTLY. JUST AS KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE WAS INSPIRATION TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MAN RAY OR GEORGE DYER THE TWISTED SUBJECT OF FRANCIS BACON'S MOST MEMORABLE WORKS, ALEXIS ROSS PLAYS MIRROR TO SAGE VAUGHN. WHILE THE EXHIBITION IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A TRIBUTE TO A STRONG PERSONALITY THAT HAS HAD AN ENORMOUS EFFECT ON THE ARTIST'S GROWTH AS A CREATIVE BEING, IT CANNOT BE DENIED, THAT THROUGH THIS REFLECTION, VAUGHN IS IN FACT PAINTING HIS WAY BACK TO HIMSELF." --- ANP ARTIST AARON ROSE.
