On January 10th, “Feral Creatures” curator Stefanie Chefas will bring a new crop of artists to Modern Eden Gallery with “Platinum Blend”. The title refers to each artist’s ability to ‘blend’ different styles in a way that feels consistent throughout their careers, and amongst eachother. This includes artists Mel Kadel, Jana Brike, Deedee Cheriel, Brian Donnelly, Christine Wu, Zoë Williams, and Henrik Aa. Uldalen, featured here. They are joined by Aaron Nagel, Ben Venom, Bradley Platz, Caitlin Hackett, Caleb Hahne, Candice Tripp, Christiana Mrozik, Cristina Paulos, Cyrcle, David Bray, Jeff Ramirez, and more. While their styles are visually eclectic, their concepts are equally surreal and play with abstraction. Brian Donnelly’s portrait of a little girl, for example, starts at the top with realistic detail, only to be deconstructed by dripping paint. Christine Wu also deconstructs her figure, but in a way to suggest her movement around the scene. Take a look at some of the work in the show below.

Henrik Uldalen Debuts Ethereal, Loosely-Painted Works in “Rapture”

Henrik Uldalen is a London based artist well known for his emotionally-charged oil paintings of figures, often appearing weightless and diminishing into the background."My work is based on abstract ideas of existentialism and nihilism, and on loneliness and numbness," he says. "They’re fairly loose ideas, as they’re a direct translation of my changing emotional states." We first featured Uldalen on the cover of Hi-Fructose Vol. 24, and here on our blog, where we've seen the artist progress from a more realistic, yet ethereal style to experimenting with abstraction.

Redd Walitzki Romanticizes the Cycle of Life in “Exquisite Corpse”

"Exquisite Corpse" is a term for a collaborative art game created by the Surrealists of the early 20th century. Seattle-based artist Redd Walitzki, known for her sensual laser-cut wood portraits, frequently plays the game with her sister and sometimes model. The game provided Walitzki with the basis for her latest series debuting Saturday at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. "While beginning the series, I discovered a Greek-Roman myth about Chloris, the Goddess of Flowers and Spring. Wandering through the forest, Chloris stumbles upon the lifeless body of a woodland nymph. Saddened by the innocent creature’s fate, Chloris breathes new life into her, transforming the nymph’s body into a flower," Walitzki says. "This tale was the perfect genesis for the beautiful, yet slightly macabre, pieces I wanted to create, and became the jumping off point for this group of paintings."

Preview: “Homebodies: Recollective” by Calvin Ma at Modern Eden Gallery

These sculptures by Calvin Ma may look like the wooden toys that inspired them, but they are detailed ceramic figures he calls "Homebodies". The artist will debut the latest in this ongoing series at Modern Eden Gallery on November 15th. This isn't just an exploration of the artist's emotion, but also medium, as he incorporates glaze, stain, twine, and resin. Paired with such delicate materials, the figures become playful symbols of the artist's fragility.
