Scott Hove

Sculptor Scott Hove has teamed up with artist Henry Lewis, and experience creator Vanessa Burgundy for the new pop-up "ARTCRIMES." Running Sept. 26 through Oct. 26, the pop-up is late-night only, taking over the gallery annex of Hollywood’s Burgundy Room bar from 8 p.m.-midnight, Thursdays through Sundays. The program blends Hove's culptures, the murals of Lewis, and burlesque, dancing, and performance art curated by Burgundy. Hove was previously featured in the “Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose" exhibition, Hi-Fructose Collected 3, and Hi-Fructose Vols. 12 and 39.
In the recent paintings of Jenny Morgan, the artist continues to create penetrating portraits that are both vulnerable and surprising in her choices. The artist’s foundational excellence in realism is enhanced by her subversions of hues and form. Morgan was featured in the cover story for Hi-Fructose Volume 39.
Oakland, California based photographer Debra Kay Burger, aka DK Burger, creates ethereal and provocative images that look like they are from another time. Using traditional darkroom techniques, she gives her work the qualities of foggy vintage snapshots with a touch of Odd Nerdum. Some of these techniques include dodging, burning, and masking, which look similar to digital manipulations, but everything is done by hand.
Jenny Morgan's (HF Vol. 21) latest series is set to debut on May 14th at Driscoll Babcock. "All We Have Is Now" features themes of life, death, and rebirth, represented in paintings of her vibrantly colored figures. It is a continuation of her ongoing concept, centered around the cycle of life and spirituality. Here, this is combined with the morose of death, as in her painting "Skeleton Woman" where a nude mingles with a skeleton. The image could almost be read like a ying-yang, where the weightless pose of the girl is juxtaposed with the heaviness of the skeleton, yet it does not crush her. Overall, Morgan's art is like a balancing act between polar opposites of both theme and style choices.
