Preview: New Works by Greg Eason at Space W10

Greg Eason has created thought provoking new images for his upcoming exhibition "CLASSIC/ LUXURY / EXOTIC / ROMANCE (C/L/E/R)" at Space W10 in London, opening January 15th. He will show alongside Bristol-based artist Anouk Mercier, where together they mix-up references of the past and future. Eason's drawings are heavy with an empty vastness as in previous works, covered here. His use of negative space to depict Romantic subjects have merged with the exoctic. Replacing the eggs and skulls is the statue of Winged Victory of Samothrace, combined with jumping dolphins and Scarlet Macaws, stripped of their brilliance by a monochromatic palette.

His work is not entirely colorless, however. A portion of this exhibit will feature new work dedicated to color exploration in pencil. His artwork is meant to make the viewer slightly uneasy and displaced. To this effect, Eason escapes what is familiar inorder to have us focus on his unique symbolism.

Daan Noppen’s Larger Than Life Drawings of Portraits and Bodies

Amsterdam based artist Daan Noppen brings a special dynamism to his pencil drawings of still life and portraits. His works are not only eye-catching for their precise layering of details, but also in their massive size that gives his subjects a more palpable presence. A closer look at each piece reveals mathematical equations in between the pencil lines that relate to our reality. More recent works express the artist's continued fascination with mathematics, geometry, and physics, as his figures appear to be gauged, dissipate, and intermingle in a void of empty vector space.

Brandon Locher’s Intricate ‘Maze’ Drawings

Brandon Locher is a New York-based visual artist and musician with a prolific output in both areas. His "Mazes to the Motherlode" portfolio contains 50 pieces of art created over the past few years. These ink and graphite labyrinths differ in approach and convolution, yet all are alluring in their intricacies.

Giovanni Forlino’s Surreal Characters and Scenes

Giovanni Forlino’s vibrant paintings and drawings move between dreamlike scenes, grotesque characters, and wild creatures of the natural world. His surreal, monstrous subjects, in particular, fill the space as if they are on the cusp of breaking out of it.

Mitsuya Watanabe’s Drawings Play with Surreal Juxtapositions in “Immaculate Eve”

Mitsuya Watanabe's new drawings take on an almost collage-like effect. The artist draws lightly shaded forms with graphite that contrast strongly with their dark backgrounds. Some of the figures have white outlines around them, flattening the scene and making them look like cut-outs, which adds to their surreal, dreamlike quality. Watanabe has a solo show coming up at Hellion Gallery in Portland titled "Immaculate Eve," opening on May 7. A series of new drawings filled with floating objects and bizarre juxtapositions, Watanabe likens these works to interpretations of dreams.
