“One of a series of twelve, Keith Tyson’s Contemporary Grotesque Sculpture – Mastering is a witty allusion to man’s ritualistic attempts to dominate nature. Cast in polycarbonate with a graphite patina, materials that are fundamental both to organic life (carbon) and artistic production (graphite), a sensual Japanese woman in formal dress rides a lumbering walrus.”
On view here.

Ben Turnbull

“Ben Turnbull is fascinated by the global dominance of American culture, and his works unsettling effects result from re-presenting the toys of our innocent youth in symbolic forms that reveal the shocking truths about war, death and guns in the world’s most powerful country.”

Walter Robinson

Valentina — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:34:32 +0000

“I consciously use seductive surfaces and saturated colors— the same tropes employed by advertising—to draw my audience into examining their relationship to consumer culture and it’s effect on the environment and world events.”

Great works by Walter Robinson…

Robert The

The art of Robert The…

“Obsession with the semiotic erosion of meaning and reality led me to create objects that evangelize their own relevance by a direct fusion of word and form. Books (many culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins) are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris.”

The distorted, fascinating and somehow disturbing sculptures by Robert Lazzarini…

wiew works at Deitch Gallery or on his personal site

“Robert Lazzarini’s sculptures are at once rigorously formal and intensely expressive. As distorted versions of familiar objects, they appear in the process of slipping- from three to two dimensions, from realism to abstraction, from this world to the next. Products of a dense and innovative process, his works seem both real and unreal: their striking immediacy is belied by a quality of ghostliness, as if they were hardly there at all.-

John B. Ravenal, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, VMFA, 2004.”

Pascal Bernier

Andrea — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:20:07 +0000

… This disenchanted world which has lost the innocence of its ‘paradise’ is what Pascal Bernier now depicts for us as a vast laboratory of violence, where he cynically admits he works “without anaesthetic”.
