Before It Fades by TwoOne at No Vacancy Gallery
16th June, 2011 - 26th June, 2011TWOONE Hiroyasu Tsuri is always interested in what more he can find within his own imagination which is why he tends not to stick with one style or motif. There are a lot of feelings, expressions and interests that he explores, with a need to let them out as they come for fear they will fade like an amazing dream that is so easily forgotten. Where once he created images only from his imagination, he now has a great interest in creating work from what is real and what is around him everyday. TWOONE has always liked the idea of using these things as materials but until now wasn’t bold enough to simply paint them. TWOONE’s new works show a ...

White Out at An Undisclosed Location
1st April, 2011 - 17th April, 2011In recent years, Mark Whalen has used an axonometric grid as a foundation on which to engineer paintings that are, at once, psychedelic visions of our past lives and a revelatory demonstration of what is yet to come. This grid is central to his practice as it removes any familiar context from which we find our bearings. His works often appear bigger than us in spirit, yet through their diminutive scale and fine detail, we peer into them as miniature dioramas. Whalen’s characters are confined within micro worlds laden with sex, religion, race, and violence. They play out scenes that titillate and torture with reckless abandon. At times there is no distinction between floor,...
