Preview: “Wait for the Moon” at Arch Enemy Arts

Opening this Friday, December 12, at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, "Wait for the Moon" is a group show based on folklore and legend. Each of the artists — such as Kukula, David Seidman, Jeremy Hush, Naoto Hattori, Ranson & Mitchell and others — was assigned a Brothers Grimm fairytale to reinterpret in their work. Many of the artists chosen for the show already work with folkloric, occult imagery and the exhibition successfully captures the dark undertones of the original Grimm stories before they were watered down for mass consumption.

The bell rings, school is out for summer, but you're heading straight to the library to pick up your summer reading list. Sound familiar? The famous list was designed by American schools to keep children engaged in reading throughout the summer, including classics like "The Secret Garden", "Of Mice and Men", and "A Wrinkle in Time". Some titles have even raised concerns among parents and others that students are being exposed to material that is overly grim. For the 20 participating artists in "Summer Reading List," now on view at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, these books are not only a part of their childhood, but continue to provide their artwork with inspiration.
Patterns dance in Nosego's paintings of morphing creatures that shed their skins to be reborn as psychedelic spirit animals. The Philadelphia-based artist pays homage to various endangered species in his work and paints them in an optimistic light. Whether in his street art or in the studio, Nosego fills his work with interlocking designs that distort his chosen animals' anatomies into something otherwordly. He remixes familiar imagery into whimsical compositions with dizzying details.
