Jen Stark’s New Kaleidoscopic Works in ‘Dimensionality’

With "Dimensionality," Jen Stark's vibrant sculptures, paintings, and installations take over Joshua Liner Gallery with her illusionary talents. The show, which began this week and runs through July 19, features both analogue and digital elements to activate the New York City space. Stark was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

With “Dimensionality,” Jen Stark‘s vibrant sculptures, paintings, and installations take over Joshua Liner Gallery with her illusionary talents. The show, which began this week and runs through July 19, features both analogue and digital elements to activate the New York City space. Stark was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

“The vibrant colors are inspired by the ‘attractant/repellent properties of flowers encouraging pollination or insects warning birds of their poisonous traits, and the luminous mystery of phosphorescent sea creatures,’ while the visual systems ‘simulate plant growth, evolution, infinity, fractals, mimetic topographies, and sacred geometries,’” the gallery says. “In addition to the biological, Starks’ atmospheric and minimalist configurations tap into the visual lineages of Yayoi Kusama, Sol Lewitt, Tara Donovan, Tom Friedman, Andy Goldsworthy, Ernst Haeckel, and the Finish Fetish artists of 1960s Los Angeles.”

Woodrow White’s Strange Paintings Reflect on Today’s Realities

Woodrow White’s paintings often explore and utilize pop culture and current social issues. The artist's comic sensibilities are shown in not only his ability to subvert familiar imagery, but also frame scenes in ways that elicit unexpected results. White was last mentioned on HiFructose.com for a show with his father, artist Wayne White.

Ian Strange’s Installations Recreate Suburban Australian Homes

The work of Australian artist Ian Strange is a mix of installation, photography, sculpture, and architecture. In these site-specific works, Strange will use an entire house as a canvas, filming his efforts to further explore concepts like “home” or “suburbia.” A recent pop-up exhibition of "Suburban" at New York’s Standard Practice Gallery featured large-scale photographs and video that documented his so-called “interventions.”

Kip Omolade’s Reflective Paintings Reference African Traditions

Kip Omolade's "Diovadiova Chrome" portrait series brings out the striking qualities of the human face. The artist takes inspiration from African folk art forms such as the ivory masks of Benin and the Ife bronze heads of Nigeria. He considers his work a contemporary exploration of the mask as a conduit between mankind and the spirit world. For his updated take on this timeworn subject matter, Omilade makes plaster casts of models' faces and uses them to create resin sculptures, which he coats with chrome and embellishes with fake eyelashes. The masks serve as reference material for Omolade's hyperrealist oil paintings, which pay homage to African cultural traditions in a novel way.

Lise Stoufflet Draws Connections In and Out of Her Paintings

When Lise Stoufflet creates an artwork, she begins with an intention. Only the titles, such as "Tous" (All) or "Magi" (Magic) offer clues as to the French artist's original motivations to convey a concept, mood or atmosphere. As Stoufflet explains in a French-language interview with Boum Bang Magazine, the artist is often surprised by the resulting images, such as that of "Tous," in which blindfolded men in identical blue uniforms lay on the ground, bound by hand and foot with strings.
