Christmas on Cherry Lane was a unique and thoughtful film that followed the story of three families simultaneously. We witness each family member’s festivities, traditions, worries and anxiety, especially pertaining to their holiday plans.
The film’s brilliant showcase of separate plots over various decades was perfected effortlessly and beautifully by both the writer and director. Christmas on Cherry Lane had a unique “big picture” take and gave us both a bird’s eye view and fly on the wall perceptions. The audience stepped into each of the three houses and rooted for each person to manage to surpass their personal obstacles.
The film was not only a sentimental and thoughtful seasonal movie but also a confirmation of how we’re all connected. The sense of humanity and empathy in the movie was done intentionally and with a purpose. Audience members discovered how all the families have been connected through different generations thanks to the protagonist’s evolution from being a teen to an elderly resident in the community tying it all together.
Besides Christmas on Cherry Lane displaying charming holiday themes, the movie philosophically confirmed the domino effect of our actions and the beauty of us all being connected with each other over decades of time. It’s a family friendly film that tugs at your heart strings and leaves a lasting effect of hope and positivity on the watcher and perhaps even a tear or two (guilty!).

The French philosopher Henri Bergson’s word “élan vital” (vital drive) is the source of the exhibition’s title and subject. Life Signs explores the relationship between the so-called “creative self” and human connection through the lens of black-and-white imagery. In doing so, we truly see self-expression along with how we connect or don’t connect with the world around us.
The exhibition additionally reflects the history of the Bowery which acted as a refuge for artists who were willing to push boundaries in the 70s and 80s, such as Scharf, Haring, and Sherman. Today, the Bowery boasts some of the most refined and vibrant street art in the city. This exhibition truly begins this to the centerfold.
Vital Impetus: Life Signs is Azure Arts first exhibition. Azure Arts is known as a nomadic gallery anchored in supporting emerging and mid-career artists living in New York City.

Azure Arts host and facilitates artist dinners, gallery talks, studio visits, and many more opportunities for curious collectors to gain insight into any artist’s creative process.
Vital Impetus: Life Signs is on view at UNTITLED now until February 10, 2024.
