Anna Uddenberg: HOME WRECKERS at The Perimeter.

Anna Uddenberg. Enough said!

Though her thought-provoking critique of the commodification and objectification of the female body in consumerist culture, her 'HOMEWRECKERS', her faceless and larger-than-life, grotesquely hypersexualized female figures, pointing us out just how crazy it is to sex up everything from couches to laundry detergents.

Fancy interiors, cozy furnishings with sofas and carpets…All settings that underscore the artificial and contrived associations between femininity and domesticity. Conjuring images of spaces one might find in homes, hotels, or staged reality TV environments, reinforcing their accessibility and familiarity.

Featured in @artcollectornews at Top 5 Shows Not to Miss this month, written by Irene Pouliassi.

Read our interview with Allison Zuckerman up now on @artcollectornews .
.
Allison Zuckerman (b. 1990 in Philadelphia, US) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute Chicago in 2015. The content of her paintings draws equally from the annals of art history and the imagery of net culture, with a special focus on the representation of women by male authors. Composed of collaged elements torn from previous work, which are then painted over, Zuckerman’s pictures are filled with colourful figures and fragments, packed to the point of almost total saturation, creating endless pictorial connections between otherwise disparate cultural symbols and motifs.

Zuckerman’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel (2019); The University of Florida in Gainesville (2019); The Akron Art Museum, Akron, USA (2018); and the Rubell Museum, Miami, USA (2017). Some of her notable collaborations include Veuve Clicquot, TODs, Charli XCX, Elle USA, and Vogue Italia.

A STATE OF TRAUMA
IGOR DOBROWOLSKI & CHRISTOS MICHAELIDES
OPENING FRIDAY 15 SEPTEMBER 2023
6-8 PM

D Contemporary is pleased to invite you to the private view of our season-opening exhibition, 'A State of Trauma,' a duo exhibition presenting works by Igor Dobrowolski and Christos Michaelides, curated by ARTCOLLECTORNEWS

The exhibition showcases the work of two international artists whose creations grapple with theories of personal and collective trauma, filtered through abstract, organic, and colorful forms. These artworks shape narratives and assign meaning to the genealogical link to poststructuralism, exploring how a horrifying event can function as 'A deathlike break'

15 September - 7 October

“My body of work consists of figurative oil paintings, sculptures and charcoal drawings. My practice serves as a territory in which I can contemplate the power relations relative to my own engagement with the world, about demonization and dehumanization as covert empowerment or as an alternative position of power. The same territory signifies for me the possibility of scratching at wounds and embracing inner demons while engaging in a dialogue with artists (among them Paula Rego, Balthus and Virginia Woolf), as well as specific patterns and concepts drawn from different visual cultures.
Most of my works touch on the connections that exist between images of animals and representations of “femininity” in various cultures and languages. I am interested in archetypes of wild, demonic women that often inhabit the seam between (obedient) pet and “evil beast,” or that rely on visual models of lethal women such as the “femme fatale.” Through them, I endeavor to raise questions about hierarchies and erratic violent passions—in society, culture, and the psyche. Internet culture and virtual space also play a significant role in the world in which my characters operate—a maze that fluctuates between imaginary domestic spaces and local landscapes.
My bitch-women may bark and growl, bare their sharp teeth with a smile, weaponize their femininity, or wait like a good doggy for the viewer’s gaze. They express ambiguous feelings and dark impulses that I cannot utter as a woman in civilized society.”

Robert Pokorny “Inside Out”
April 29 - Mav 27.2023
.
Steve Turner is pleased to present Inside Out, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based Robert
Pokorny that features new portrait paintings depicting his recurring stylized characters -- Bearded men and confident white-haired women -- engaged in everyday activities such as reading a book, eating an ice cream cone, drinking a cup of coffee or smoking a joint. He simplifies the composition with strong lines, striking color, repeated marks and patterns to suggest various emotional states
According to the artist. "These portraits are not meant to depict one person in particular but rather are pictures of us all. They allow me to engage with great painters of the past, to tap into my own emotions, and to relate them to the outer world. They might seem absurd or humorous, but they are always sincere"
Robert Pokorny (born 1969, Merced, California) earned a BA (1992) and MFA (2011) at California State University, Long Beach and has presented his work in numerous exhibitions since 2006.
Most recently, he has had solo gallery exhibitions at Johansson Projects, Oakland (2021) and Ampersand, Portland (2020). He has also had solo presentations at art fairs including Expo Chicago (2022) and CAN Art Fair, Ibiza (2022). Pokorny has been featured in Amadeus Magazine, Art Maze Magazine, Arte Al' Limite, Cool Hunting, Juxtapoz, Maps, Sound & Vision Podcast and Voyage LA. This is Pokorny's debut exhibition with Steve Turner.

"In the process of discovering myself, I have revealed some strong psychological figures (Child Side, Feminine Side, Tyrannical Side, Contemporary Side). I noticed that some paths went entirely differently when designing or thinking about new works.
For example, the process of creating oil paintings was utterly different from the process of creating sculptures.The process of creating sculptures also differed from the design of bas-reliefs. I asked myself why the sculptures appeared in my head without much effort and why I feel completely different when I think about paintings and bas-reliefs. Now I am convinced that there are different psychological
.sides to me. When I’im designing sculptures, I do it from the female side (Feminine Side).
In my sculptures, you can feel a lot of emotion, expression, grace, and emotional awareness. I noticed that my reliefs are being made on the Tyrannical side. You can see in the "brutalism" angular, sharp shapes and a monochrome palette of colors. I have known for a long time that there is an extremelchildlike side to me.One of the most critical moments in my artistic process was when I started to paint with only my left hand. This process consumed me. I was in a trance. I forgot about time and barriers literally as a child. It was and still is a powerful experience. I have unknowingly tried to include all my sites in oil paintings (contemporary side). I tried to convey a political and social message, a childlike character, emotions, a certain style, etc. However, from now on, I will explore individual projects as separate psychological sides/figures. I will not force them together. I will allow them to create as separate entities.
It is one of the most important discoveries in my artistic career so far." @igor_dobrowolski
