Last Saturday, CHG Circa showed us every kind of giant you can think of with their group show “Giants Among Us” (previewed here). Giants are a timeless myth that has inspired artists for centuries. For Circa’s contemporary artists- Anita Kunz, Andrew Brandou, Armando Marino, Benjamin Bryce Kelley, Eric Joyner, Joe Fenton, John Brophy, Korin Faught, So Youn Lee, to name a few- giants are monstrous beasts, revered figures, a narrative and a concept. For Eric Joyner, who dwarfed the space with gigantic contributions, they are giant robots eating donuts and wreaking havoc as they go. For So Youn Lee, a giant is a magical, celestial being that splits into tiny cells of its own image. Joe Fenton presented a comical narrative, framed by an intricate ivory piece that was doumented in a making-of video. Anita Kunz’s illustration is something out of a fairytale book, while KINSEY painted an abstract, mountainous figure that seems to be rising from the sea. With so many literal and wildly conceptual ideas, it becomes a sort of game to find the giant in each. “Giants Among Us” is now on view at CHG Circa through October 4.
