Robert Kunec
April 28 – May 28, 2011
FLAG DAY 2011 ( photo, 16″ x 24′ Edition of 3) IT’S NOT A BOMB (suitcase, 20″ x 28″ x 8″, unique)
Editorial Review: The New York Art World, May 2011
Robert Kunec’s work, which refers to the suicide attack, is of self-explanatory. Kunec creates an impressive picture of the interior mechanism of this event, also of the ideological, manipulative indoctrination. The sculpture deals with the totalitarian way of thinking, taking the subject as hostage. It is searching for the human role behind the uniform of a religiously motivated fight. The picture found by Kunec varies between a toolkit and an explosive device, both mechanical constructions. With this complex question about the subjectivity is raised in its intercultural context, on the basis of one of the most extreme examples in current debates. Humans as toys, as subjects, relieved of their own will, or as individuals driven by their faith.
Excerpt: Prof.Dr. Eugen Blume, Director Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin
Terrorism. It affects everything. Though rarely contemporary art. The subject is too hot, too political, too dangerous perhaps. Despite this fact, one who does dare to seek out images of terror, a willingness to self sacrifice, fanaticism and religious delusion, is the young artist Robert Kunec. It’s a path that has taken him to the boundaries of the acceptable and the utterable.
Excerpt: – Dr. Noemi Smolik, (artnet magazine -Sept.2010)
Kunec was born in Slovakia in 1978. He first completed his training as a goldsmith, then later went on to study art at the Art Academy of Prague and finally at the School of Art and Design in Halle, Germany.

Kaleidoscope, 29 ft x 7.9 ft (seven panels)
Vincenzo Lo Sasso
March 25 – April 16, 2011
The work of Vincenzo Lo Sasso is not only the search for a balance between opposing forces but rather, and radically so, the attempt to translate the ancient contrast between solid bodies and liquid presences into images, between that which is unmoving and that which cannot avoid swaying, ever more deeply, even between formalism and informal being. In his metals, treated, violated, oxidized, enameled, transformed into Caribbean islands or mini atolls on the Pacific, places where there is no clearly defined border between sea and earth, where each piece of territory or abyss is a space momentarily stolen, it’s a surface which could also turn back into water or the other way around – color and matter do not only speak of themselves, they do not present values which are exclusively descriptive or emotional, but they effectively reference those relationships and situations of stability or instability, specificity and non-specificity on which the whole planet rests today. The artist stages the continuous change of things, the constant being on the edge of the world, the unavoidable renewal of elements; on his strange metal canvas he blocks the continuous progress of evolution, and he does so not to deny it, but to emphasize it. In practice, Lo Sasso is inspired by Earth and its history, its destiny.

Hendrik Smit’s colorful gestural abstract paintings exude a playful sense of joyous freedom. The fluid seamless forms build to crescendos that appear to dissolve and re-form over the activated surfaces. The modulated upbeat colors create harmonies that recall symphonic musical arrangements.

Per Adolfsen’s emotionally charged acrylic paintings seamlessly merge representational and abstract elements that activate the works with surprising “funhouse” effects of fear, foreboding and buoyancy. The dream-like floating tableaux, replete with swirling figures and fragmented architectural forms, engage the viewer in a seductive world of fantasy and uncertainty that recalls classic Scandinavian angst.

By deftly pouring bright acrylic onto smoothly primed canvases, Bates creates expressive, if elusive, vistas. The vivid paint runnels convey a palpable sense of shifting gravity while the varying opacities blend into transitions as smooth as flowing tides. In a few pieces, squiggled skeins of color convey dynamic energy like the spikes of an EKG monitor, fusing a technological frisson to Bates’s organic imagery.

Kylie Heidenheimer’s abstract, acrylic paintings on canvas are reminiscent of gentle weather conditions evoked by soothing harmonious color relationships. The layers of dripped and poured paint divulge the artist’s process, and metaphorically recall the element of passing time.

Marcy Brafman’s semi-abstract oil paintings feature biomorphic representations of fierce creatures that intersect and collide on fluidly painted formats. The upbeat optimistic colors defy the underlying tension, as organisms appear to vie for survival in tableaux with underpinnings in the natural selection process.

Ian Hughes’ paintings exploit the anatomical link between the brain and the viscera. Fluid, intertwining, and semi-transparent forms exude a bodily presence while suggesting a tangle of shifting associations. Hughes seduces the viewer with sensuous textures and a luscious palette of chromatic pinks, yellows and turquoise blues modulated by pearl whites and carbon blacks. For Hughes, the color field is a stage on which to choreograph a visual and psychological drama. In Hughes’ paintings, we could be frolicking in a garden of earthly delights or wallowing in the heat of the netherworld.

Tatjana Busch creates unique mid-sized steel mesh sculptures that she crushes and re-forms to display facets and folds that emerge through “guided” accidents. The works exude a flare for the fresh and unexpected that resonates with fresh cross-narrative relationships between surface geometric patterns and the overall biomorphic configurations
