Step into a world where space, time, and modern culture collide. Join us at Aveline, the elevated mezzanine lounge at The Kimpton Shane Hotel, for an exclusive launch party celebrating Stephen Payne, featured Artist-in-Residence.

Stephen brings the forgotten to life—transforming repurposed vintage book pages and frame-bound remnants into captivating, dreamlike surrealist collages. Through his masterclass application of surrealist automatism, he creates subconscious, rich visual narratives that invite you to step out of the everyday and explore entire universes constructed from the past.

What to Expect
-Live Artist Insight:Discover Stephen’s unique process for sourcing rare vintage materials and constructing surreal worlds through automated creation.
-Original Gallery Collection: Experience a hand-picked exhibition of Stephen’s original works up close.
-Craft Cocktails & Atmosphere: Sip on Aveline’s signature cocktails while connecting with local art enthusiasts in Midtown Atlanta.
