Jonathan LeVine Gallery will have three exhibits showing simultaneously from May 12th through June 9th. Vitche‘s show Equilibrium will be in Gallery I. AJ Fosik‘s At the Edge of Town will be in Gallery II. Matt Haber and Andy Kehoe‘s Trouble, Pass Me By will be held in the Project Room. The opening reception for all three will be on Saturday May 12th from 7 – 9pm.
Equilibrium will be Brazilian artist Vitche‘s first solo exhibition in New York. Vitche is a sculptor, painter, and graffiti artist. He combines vibrant colors and sacred symbols to create narratives about the urban environment. Polynesian and Aztec cultures and Brazilian Indians have influenced his work and Vitche draws from ancient cultures and their iconography to comment on modern society. Equilibrium explores the lost connection between modern man and mother nature.
AJ Fosik‘s At the Edge of Town is a mixed media sculpture exhibition. Fosik‘s sculptures are hand-crafted and made of hundreds of pieces of wood, all meticulously arranged and constructed to resemble taxidermy animals. Some of his creations are half animal and half human but they are 100% provocative.
Trouble, Pass Me By is a joint show by emerging artists Matt Haber and Andy Kehoe. Both artists use caricature-based work to deal with moral conflict. Dinosaurs, strongmen, and sorcerers are just a few of the characters Haber uses to portray a universe of human greed and violence. In Kehoe‘s paintings, animals and humans have an uneasy relationship in deceptively calm surroundings.
