Koralie Shows New Work in ‘Indigo Blood Project’

Koralie's interest in "folk customs, emblematic monuments and animistic ritual" translates into stencil work on canvas that evokes cultures from across the world and creates illusionary layers. In a show currently running at Jonathan Levine Projects, titled “Indigo Blood Project,” the artist’s newest works are shown. Koralie was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 46 and most recently on the Hi-Fructose blog here.


Koralie’s interest in “folk customs, emblematic monuments and animistic ritual” translates into stencil work on canvas that evokes cultures from across the world and creates illusionary layers. In a show currently running at Jonathan Levine Projects, titled “Indigo Blood Project,” the artist’s newest works are shown. Koralie was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 46 and most recently on the Hi-Fructose blog here.

“Koralie wishes to pay tribute to nature with this exhibition and perfected a stencil technique that she defines as a new language of creation,” a statement says. “She begins by designing her patterns digitally and then produces laser cut stencils, allowing her to create perfectly symmetrical compositions. Then, as if to imitate nature, she integrates imperfections by improvising with splashes, drips and smears of paint, giving life to the painting through texture. Similar to a kaleidoscope, her work provides an element of kinetic illusion, prompting viewers to let their eyes wander the canvas as if under hypnosis.”

The show runs through April 29. See more work from “Indigo Blood Project” below.

London based artist duo Kai & Sunny like the idea of showing something you can’t actually see and asking bigger questions. Featured here on our blog, their nature-inspired drawings feature geometric patterns that replicate motifs like the intricacies of flower petals and the dramatic bursts of stars, as if looking through the lens of a super-telescope. Though their energetic and abstract line work has the precision of a machine, everything is drawn by hand using ballpoint pens. For their upcoming exhibition at Stolen Space gallery in London, "Whirlwind Of Time", the duo sought out to develop their pen drawing series even further.
David Rice fuses the natural and the man-made in his paintings, representing the possibility of a peaceful balance between the two. Featured here on our blog, and in our current issue of Hi-Fructose Vol. 39, his wildlife-filled works address themes like cohabitation, where people and animals are combined to create hybrid beings, often wrapped in colorful textiles. The Portland based painter is about to debut a new series, entitled "High Alpine", his largest body of work to date.
In depicting the human condition, Jean-Paul Mallozzi uses paint to express emotional narratives. His oil paintings make use of thickly painted areas, moving from more accurate detail to abstract elements and exaggerated colors to imply his subject's feelings. Color is fundamental to Malozzi's paintings. "Each one emits a color that echoes complex emotional states that all of us can relate to," he explains.
Tokyo based Tomoo Gokita paints in a monochrome, abstract style that is simple but haunting to look at. His ongoing black and white gouache series plays on the idea of traditional portraiture. For his next solo show "Bésame Mucho" at Honor Fraser Gallery, Gokita continues to blend this line between figurative and abstraction. If his images feel strangely familiar, it's because he borrows them from vintage film stills, 1970s magazines and photos. Check out our preview after the jump.
