Guest curated by artist Brian Damitz, the “Hodge-Podge Show” will showcase a wide variety of artwork, from paintings to sculpture to stained glass. While their media may vary, all of the artwork is united in their modern style, dark themes, and powerful statements.
All of the artwork is disquieting and invites interpretation. A figure drawing of a woman is done in an atypical red. A whimsical sculpture of a man is making fire. A boy with what appears to be a big pimple or even a third eye eats an ice cream bar. A ghostly figure stares back at the viewer with glowing eyes. A naked woman seems frightened by something.
Carey, Chao, Kusama, Ong, and Ushiro are all up-and-coming artists, who are quickly establishing themselves in the art world. Their work is being shown in respected galleries, receiving critical success, and being acquired for private collections.
The 24 Gallery, sponsored by Light Bringer Project, is unique in that it turns a typical gallery inside out, allowing countless general public to view its artwork 24 hours a day in display cases on the busy Holly Street in exciting Old Town, Pasadena.
