39 WOOSTER STREET NYC 10013 TEL 212.334.3455

Spencer Brownstone Gallery presents the first New York solo exhibition by London-based sculptor Tessa Farmer.

Tessa Farmer's unique body of work conjures a fantastical miniature world from organic material including twisted plant roots, dead insects, bones, and taxidermied animals. The chief protagonists of this world are her ant-sized 'fairies', half insect/half humanoid skeletal creatures with skull heads and twisted limbs, who roam with malevolent intent the sculptural tableaux the artist creates for them, attacking the hapless insects, birds, and small animals that serve as their unwilling hosts.

6-8PM
New work by New York artist KAWS at Gering & Lopez,
730 Fifth Avenue

reception with the artist

GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY is pleased to present the much anticipated solo exhibition of new work by Brooklyn-based artist KAWS. The artist sees his technique as a sieve of modern culture, filtering and re-contextualizing the images and information that he comes in contact with daily. Beginning as a graffiti artist in the 1990s, KAWS took an interventionist approach to the imagery on billboards and bus shelter advertisements, interweaving his own graphics. KAWS now uses the worldwide popularity of his familiar brand-like symbols to explore other methods of integrating his iconography into the global consumer culture.

This exhibition features the artist's most recent paintings and sculpture. Large-scale acrylic works on canvas incorporate his usual cast of characters set against abstract, chaotic scenes of geometric shapes. In this series, the subject is displaced and the focus is drawn to the bold coloration of the elements. In another group of monochromatic paintings, line work and treatment of the surface texture obscure the compositional focus leaving only the presence of the characters' emotive expressions in abstraction. Additionally, KAWS has produced a series of thirty-three uniquely painted life-size bronze sculptures of his own severed head. With this series, KAWS reinvents the age-old tradition of bronze casting by finishing the sculptures with playful candy coated colors. A sculpture entitled Chum stands as a larger-than-life rendition of a classic KAWS character.
