Opening Night: Kai & Sunny’s “Lots of Bits of Star” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

On November 22nd, London artists Kai and Sunny celebrated the opening of "Lots of Bits of Star" at Jonathan Levine Gallery (previewed here). A simple theme ornately executed, their exhibition takes an up close and personal look at the dramatic life stars. As if looking through the lens of a super-telescope, the duo have created inspired images that take the shape of familiar motifs; wild, flowering petals, a flock of birds, to surreal geometric patterns.

On November 22nd, London artists Kai and Sunny celebrated the opening of “Lots of Bits of Star” at Jonathan Levine Gallery (previewed here). A simple theme ornately executed, their exhibition takes an up close and personal look at the dramatic life stars. As if looking through the lens of a super-telescope, the duo have created inspired images that take the shape of familiar motifs; wild, flowering petals, a flock of birds, to surreal geometric patterns. A certain twinkle is added to the pieces with texture, sheen and materials like mineral powders. Stars twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth- but Kai and Sunny turn this into something delicate and almost peaceful. Take a look at photos from opening night below, courtesy of Kai and Sunny.

“Lots of Bits of Stars” by Kai and Sunny is on view at Jonathan LeVine Gallery through December 20th.

Exclusive Interview: Esao Andrews Discusses New Work for “Epilogues” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Ever the astute aesthete, Esao Andrews (previously covered in HF Vol. 8 and online) brings a renewed sense of clarity and purpose to his latest body of work. His new paintings will be featured at NYC's Jonathan LeVine Gallery from October 11 through November 8 for Andrews's upcoming solo show, "Epilogues." For this series, the artist embraced some of his signature motifs, bringing them back into the studio and furthering their growth. The ongoing narrative in his work, as Andrews tells us, needed a conclusion, a way to say farewell and move forward with his pursuits. This exhibition of painting provides him with just that: closure. In "Epilogues," we are treated to a visual feast of some of Andrews’s most well-known images as they would appear as aged, matured and weathered in his trademark tonality, creating transcendent moments of haunted familiarity.

On View: Fabio D’Aroma’s “West of Ovest” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Painter Fabio D'Aroma's characters perpetually march westward, though it's unclear to what end. His nude men and women with protruding bellies and knobby limbs appear to be part of an endless procession. D'Aroma adorns them with anachronistic accouterments such as 19th-century bayonets, animal pelts and punk rock mohawks, making it impossible to determine the continuity between the various works in the series. His highly stylized paintings are currently on view at New York's Jonathan LeVine Gallery through November 8 for his solo show, "West of Ovest." The artist says that our culture's crippling obsession with social media — and the resulting social awkwardness — was the inspiration behind his ungainly figures.

On View: “Cruel Summer” Curated by Roger Gastman at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Currently on view at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City is "Cruel Summer," an extensive showcase of artists with ties to the international graffiti and street art scenes. The show is curated by Roger Gastman, a graffiti writer turned filmmaker and author whose extensive credits include consulting producer of Banksy's Exit Through the Giftshop and co-curator of the major street art exhibition "Art in the Streets" at LA's MoCA. With humorous, playful works by Dabs Myla, Finok and HuskMitNavn, neon dreamscapes by Maya Hayuk and POSE and black-and-white flash tattoo drawings by Mike Giant, the exhibition demonstrates the broad scope of artists making their marks on the streets of cities across the world.
