Merry Karnowsky gallery is proud to present 'Paralleled Opposites', an exhibition of new paintings by australian artist mark whalen (aka kill pixie). in his latest body of work, Whalen’s ever-evolving bright and luminous color palette ventures into cobalt blues, acid greens, and pale pinks, giving the paintings a strikingly vibrant and delectable quality. Through his medium of acrylic on paper mounted to wood, with thick coats of glassy smooth resin, the artist creates a futuristic alternate reality where trees, machinery and structures open up into one another like a kaleidoscope of intricate, every changing worlds. Inextricably embedded in their geometrically candy-colored environments, whalen’s quirky, ambiguous characters are like puppets acting out rituals from lost worlds as a crude warning that a new way of thinking about social order, spirituality, compulsion, and human interaction with nature is vital to our future existence. The exhibition will include a 10-foot square tiled enclosure that can be entered through a single doorway. within the confines of the installation, a more intimate multidimensional sensory experience will be created by paintings installed alongside hand sewn paper botanicals, with sound installation by autolux. Actor Tim Roth will host the opening reception on saturday 9 october 2010 8-11pm and the show continues until 6 november at merry karnowsky gallery in los angeles. be sure to check out this show if you are in LA. more info here - www.killpixie.net
