On Friday, September 12th, Soze Gallery will host double solo exhibitions by Los Angeles based Devin Liston and Gosha Levochkin (of DevNGosha, covered here). Titled “GROWN UPS” and “LOST” respectively, the event celebrates their first time exhibiting together since 2012- and highlights their unique dialogue as collaborators. Gosha’s “LOST” will boast 25 colorful watercolor and gouache illustrations. Looking at his drawings is like trying to decipher a Rorschach test from which strange, insect-like creatures emerge. He contrasts playful candy colors against flat black pigments as a way to “pollute them”, or create a visual tension. Liston will also present mixed media paintings in “GROWN UPS”, choosing oil and acrylic as his materials. Here, he explores psychological upset in a narrative about, appropriately, growing up. Themes about life, birth and rebirth, and even death are represented in the words throughout his imagery. Together, the two artists create a subtle dichotomy by focusing on two parts of a combined expression.

In recent years, Mexico City has played host to some of the most progressive urban artists in the world. Many of them have come together in Celeya Brothers' anniversary exhibition, "Cuatro Igual A Uno": 3TTMan, Christiaan Conradie, Franco Fasoli aka JAZ, Fusca, Augustine Kofie, Lesuperdemon, Sten & Lex, Sanez, Smithe and Jorge Tellaeche. The group represents not only the freshman artists to show with the gallery, but also the city's international draw, hailing from the United States, South Africa, to Argentina. Take a look at more photos from the exhibition after the jump.
