Posted on 2010-11-15

Matti Kujasalo has addressed issues of systematic constructivist art for the past forty years. He has developed a unique grammar of his own, and, based on its rules, he has created a visual language that is expressive, nuanced and imbued with surprise. A large and richly illustrated book on Matti Kujasalo’s oeuvre of the past forty years will appear in connection with the exhibition.

Opposite – Untitled, 7.5.2010

BRYAN DRURY : RECENT WORKS – ANTIBIOSIS

Posted on 2010-11-08

“Recent works – Antibiosis” features new and recent works by Bryan Drury. The artist’s body of work, all oil paintings completed within the past 2 years, confronts the incongruous relationship between humans and the natural world. This comes into light not by pairing two extremes against one another or by making pictorial juxtapositions. Instead, it subtly poises their contrived – and growing – separation head on with a realism that marks humanity’s detached fetishization and exploitation of nature.

Opposite – Imitation, 2010, Oil on Wood, 84″ x 60″

Exhibition runs through to November 27th, 2010

PATTERN RECOGNITION

Posted on 2010-11-01

Pattern Recognition is a group exhibition of works by Seonna Hong, Nikki McClure, Richard Colman, Dalek, and Souther Salazar.
A pattern is a type of theme consisting of recurring events or objects that repeat in a predictable manner.
Each artist’s work in this show is a direct example of visual pattern, whether they be simple and decorative,
such as stripes, zigzags, and polka-dots, or more complicated patterns, which can be observed.
anywhere in nature and in art, through our five senses. Shapes, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures all
go into the creation of higher order structures which are vital to our growth and adaptation to the environment.

Opposite – Seonna Hong

Exhibition runs from November 6th to December 4th, 2010
