Exhibition Review (excerpt): “Harrison Haft - Nuclear Eden” at Collective Z Gallery, Chinatown

Below is an excerpt from my newest review on Whitehot Magazine! The link to the full review is in one of my recent stories:

Mythology is often perceived as only a historical construct, but contemporary myth-making has its place in the undercurrents of today’s visual culture. Harrison Haft, an artist and filmmaker, recently unveiled a voluminous body of work in his debut solo exhibition Nuclear Eden that speak to of-the-moment issues and themes stemming from a more universalized and timeless nature. Passive glances have no place in the world of Haft, for provocation is the name of the painter’s game.

Direct, piercing, downright penetrating gazes oriented towards the viewer recur among each of his subjects: human, animal, and mutants. Hindsight (2026) is an oil painting whose luminescent glow is the result of the latex-primed panel upon which is the image of a peacock with its ostentatious feathers crowding the entire composition. The reflective eye of the peacock is not the only look we are receiving as the ocular patterns that cover the feathers amplify our awareness of being stared at. Something about this image gives off the visual embellishment of a 17th Century pronkstilleven painting, but with even more of an uncanny seriousness.
