IMAABS – DESCIFRAR

Posted on 2022-02-21

The album is a series of beautifully faded musical photographsote of melancholy swells into grief during the very moving Witch Water, which is subtly underpinned with Marissa Nadler’s haunting voice. The clouds soon clear, the mountains reappear, and the wheel of the year and of the generations turns again as A Letter from TreeTops signs off with the same lilting melody on which it began.

XL JUMPER BLACK BY COLUS

Posted on 2022-02-21

San Diego-based Colus brings back on of his classic pieces with the new XL Jumper Black resin art toy. The new figure is a larger 15″ version of the striking 10″ piece released by Kidrobot (2018). The larger scale increases the presence of the piece which features a rabbit impaled by a large pole mid-jump. Jumper is at once simple, profound and unsettling.

AA signed/numbered edition of 8

MIKA HORIBUCHI – WATERCOLORS

Posted on 2022-02-21

Bortolami Gallery is pleased to present Watercolors, Mika Horibuchi’s first New York solo exhibition. The paintings contain no actual watercolor media, but a combination of oil painting techniques used to recreate images from photos of her grandmother’s watercolor paintings.
As a nod to traditional photo mounting techniques, Horibuchi has applied and sanded many layers of gesso to create a subtle relief in the form of a rectangle with four triangular corners. This ultra-smooth painting surface is “framed” by the raw, stretched linen of her support, as if each image is suspended on the page of a family photo album.

Opposite – Watercolor of Pi-ko, 2021

Exhibition runs through to March 26th, 2022
