Where Artistry Meets Rebellion: An Immersive Evening in East London

East London has always been a haven for the bold and the unconventional, and on June 18th, Odyssey Bar & Lounge will ignite that spirit with the next chapter of the Brush & Barrel™ series: the Whiskey & Art Celebration – REBEL. This isn’t just another tasting or gallery night-it’s a multi-sensory celebration where the worlds of modern art and American whiskey collide, curated for those who crave depth, flavour, and fearless creativity.


The Artist: Riccardo Beson – Hyperrealism with a Rebel Heart

At the heart of this event is Riccardo Beson, a hyperrealist artist whose work pulses with energy, emotion, and a touch of defiance. Beson is renowned for his ability to capture the raw, unfiltered essence of his subjects, often blurring the line between reality and imagination. His pieces-vivid, detailed, and unapologetically bold-evoke the same spirit of rebellion that defines the evening’s featured whiskey: Rebel Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

Beson’s art doesn’t just hang on walls; it challenges viewers to engage, question, and feel. His fearless approach to hyperrealism mirrors the craftsmanship behind Rebel Bourbon-both are about breaking boundaries, honouring tradition, and leaving a lasting impression.


The Experience: Curated by Michele Reina

Guiding guests through this immersive journey is Michele Reina, curator and host, who has masterfully woven together the threads of art and whiskey. Reina’s vision for the event is clear: to create an experience that transcends the ordinary, where every sip and every brushstroke tells a story of rebellion, passion, and creativity.
