Preview: “The Lost” by Joey Remmers at CHG Circa

by CaroPosted on

This Saturday, alongside Soey Milk (previewed here), CHG Circa will also be showing new oil painting and charcoal works by Joey Remmers. Remmer’s figures often appear lost, aimlessly wandering through ominous environments. For “The Lost”, he found inspiration in the Aokigahara Forest in Japan, where he illustrates mysterious young girls searching for something. Aokigahara is considered one of Japan’s most haunted forests, historically associated with demons and a popular place for suicides. It is also known for its unusual quietness, felt in the stillness of Remmers’ works.

On View: “In Missa Interfectionis” Group Show at Stephen Romano Gallery

by Nastia VoynovskayaPosted on

Just in time for today’s holiday, Stephen Romano Gallery in Brooklyn currently has a group show on display titled “In Missa Interfectionis.” The exhibition glorifies the morbid and macabre, juxtaposing contemporary works by the likes of Colin Christian, Soey Milk and Chie Yoshii with eerie artifacts from various cultures and time periods. A 20th-century Caribbean altar complete with a miniature casket and a 19th-century American illustration of the evolution of monsters are just a couple of the historical curiosities shown with the modern works. These pieces provide context for the newer ones, attesting to humanity’s eternal obsession with death and the supernatural.

Studio Visit: Behind the Scenes of Shaun Berke’s “Sacrosanct”

by CaroPosted on

When we last caught up with Shaun Berke, he was busily preparing for his previous showing at La Luz de Jesus gallery, ” Sisters of the Inquisition.” Berke returns to La Luz on November 7th with an inspired take on Impressionism and 17th century Dutch painting, in “Sacrosanct”. His new pieces exhibit his learned classical compositions mixing religious iconography, as in his nun subjects, with some recognizable faces. Some of his models have included fellow local artists Soey Milk and Christine Wu. The work is also modern looking in its minimalism, focusing on the figures placed in subdued, apocalyptic environments. Berke also appreciates a minimal lifestyle in Los Angeles, where we went behind the scenes of his show.

We recently had the chance to visit artist Christine Wu’s studio in Los Angeles, where she currently preparing for her upcoming show ‘Shhh…’ at La Luz De Jesus Gallery next month where she’ll be showing alongside Soey Milk. (recently featured here) Her organized studio was filled with white texts adhered to the walls as both instructions and inspiration, as new works in progress freckled the walls and floors. Imbued with a subtle yet tentative sexuality, the figures of her paintings are captured in states of flux, often appearing as occupying the same space with multiple versions of themselves. View more images of her studio provided by Daniel Rolnik after the jump.
