Telmo Miel, the artist duo consisting of Telmo Pieper and Miel Krutzmann, brings their surreal, distinct collaborative work to Thinkspace Projects with a new show. “Encounters,” opening on February 1, offers several pieces created over the past year. The duo last appeared on our site here.

“Recent paintings contain playfulness in abstraction of reality, attempting to make the viewer see subjects with a different eye,” the gallery says. “They grew into using multiple images, layered over one another. By cutting away a top layer, another comes forward to complete the design. This provides a convenient abstraction, but the [intent] is more so to create a sort of marriage between figurative parts. Pieces that weren’t normally seen as one, but now complete each other in weird and beautiful ways.”

Inyoung Seoung Translates Her Drawings to Murals Using Electrical Tape

Inyoung Seoung's work draws parallels between humankind and nature. She considers people to be in a perpetual state of growth, reaching up and moving forward like trees to light. The Korea-born, Southern California-based artist one day found herself admiring her own backyard, where she was impressed by the fact that no two trees were alike, and that they contain an infinite supply of design that she emulates in her drawings and installations.

Preview: John Wentz’s “Passages” at 111 Minna Gallery

Hazy figures walk towards the viewer in John Wentz's new series of oil paintings, their faces muddled as if conjured from some distant memory or last night's dream. His solo show "Passages," opening alongside Mike Davis's "A Blind Man's Journey" (see our recent studio visit with Davis here), is set to debut at San Francisco's 111 Minna Gallery on October 3. Wentz's work is optimally experienced in person. Playing with new textures, he steers his figurative paintings further into abstract territory, breaking down bodies into their basic components and exaggerating the ways light dances on them. Wentz deliberately calls attention to the paint itself, allowing pigments to bubble and burst and scraping away fine lines with a pencil. The results are disorienting and poignant, reminding us of the ways our own memories can be distorted and altered.

Roland Mikhail’s Surreal Airbrush Paintings

Brooklyn artist Roland Mikhail masters the technique of airbrushing to create images of people, objects and wildlife that, as the artist says, "speak to the parts of us we do not know are looking." His work is bold and instinctive, layered with complex imagery that explores the interconnections between our conscious and subconscious.
