Cleon Peterson and Bill McRight at Guerrero Gallery

Now on view at Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco is a dual showing by Los Angeles-based artists Cleon Peterson and Bill McRight. Though presented as two separate solo shows, Peterson's 'The Brinksman' and McRight's 'When You Get Power' form a cohesive and unifying viewing experience through immersion and shock. Peterson's work, which we last covered here, continues on his apocalyptic and anarchist dystopian worldview, tackling issues of "the other" in a violent and abrasive critique of human nature and the Western world. McRight's homemade shivs and crafted weapons compliment Peterson's paintings with a more hands on approach. When we last saw McRight's work alongside AJ Fosik (here) it evoked images of tribal hunters in search of their prey, in this setting however a new light is cast upon the weapons as tools of societal collapse. Both shows are on view until April 7th, 2012, highly recommended. - Ken Harman

Younguk Yi’s Journey Through Repetition, Fragmentation, & The Modern Human Condition

These elements function as a means of reconstructing and amplifying the form, revealing its presence in a heightened and dramatic way. Read the full article by Caro by clicking above.

Maud Madsen Explores the Gaps Between Memories

Madsen’s narrative, semi-autobiographic paintings frequently position young adults inside spaces made for children. Their bodies might be awkwardly crammed inside toy cars or between narrow school bus seats. Other times, Madsen places the characters in the midst of situations associated with childhood and adolescence, tapping into the complicated mix of emotions that come with memory.
