Jeff Ramirez: This is the life - These are the real things

February 6, 2010 until February 27, 2010 // Cella Gallery // North Hollywood, CA

"I have always felt like I was living between two worlds. In each, I was a different person, always hyperaware of my surroundings. Every gesture amounted to a self-conscious performance. In images, I felt improperly represented. I grew to disassociate with my own reflection in imagery and thus became skeptical of the images of others.

Every day I take in countless pictures, many of which encourage me not to ask questions, but rather to just accept their truths. While they may appear to be candid, they are capturing both pose and performance. I am compelled to create images using others as props, stand-ins and doubles for myself. While typical portrait subjects want to demonstrate their power and import, the subjects in my paintings are isolated and aware that they are being watched. They are barely there, reduced by the act of creation.

The series of small paintings are styled after paparazzi images and photographs commonly found on social networking sites. The voluminous production of such images allows for banality and loss of context. Rendered in a photorealistic style, these paintings receive a physical presence that gives weight to the images. They act as anti-portraits that reduce an experience to a singular expression of denial. The pose of the subject is a response to being identified and singled out by the creator for the benefit of the viewer. In the large paintings, the same ideas have been extended to the more straightforward traditional full portrait. In this style, the images are more claustrophobic and confined and so are the subjects. They exist in spaces bound by limitations with no possibility of autonomy. In order to maintain the narrative constriction, the paintings required additional elements, surrealist textures and coverings still rendered in the photorealist style. These impositions of the creator generate tension while making a traditional format more open to interpretation. These subjects are trapped in a moment and are vulnerable to projection. They sit, isolated in pure emotion and expressions of grief, fear or angst."

Silver platforms

"A while ago, I got inspired by this whole silver heel/wedge thing, so I thought why not just take one of my favourite pair of heels and create a silver platform and heel myself? I just bought some silver tape, cut it to the right width and stuck it to the heel. It's really lovely and didn't fall off until this day."

Edge Gallery Hong Kong: EDGE OF INDONESIA

February 2, 2010 until March 14, 2010 // Edge Gallery // Hong Kong

EDGE Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition EDGE OF INDONESIA of a group of 8 very talented Indonesian artists. This exibit just opened this past Friday at EDGE Gallery, Hong Kong. Artists included are Putut Wahyu Widodo, Iman Sapari, Ida Bagus Putu Purwa, Hilman Hendarsyah, Heru Dodot Widodo, Bambang Pramudiyanto, Hendra Bayu Hermanto, and Endro.

Both Ida Bagus Putu Purwa and Putut Wahyu Widodo depicts similar concerns pertaining to the change they are experiencing in their country. The artists discuss the issues of social, political, and cultural changes through images of body. human body symbolizes an effort to complete the fragmented junctures in one¡œs life. The body is conceived less as an object but rather as an area, which gives a strong sense of both location and dislocation. With their individual approach, express their thoughts and experiences pertaining to their memory of personal junctures. Iman Sapari's dramatic lighting paintings depict deserted railways stations and highways. The canvases contain an eeriness that is one of the traits of "Hyper-Realism". Heru Dodot Widodo expresses his personal reaction to the current world condition. He explores and analyzes the world through different subjects which include economy, environment, and world domination by super power countries. He tries to give his comments through his paintings and he believes that the current conditions that had happened in this world were mainly caused by decision of either somebody who has strong influence or by some nations that have their own political agenda. The Artist carefully chooses his colors, textures, and media to convey feelings and ideas of how he perceived and experience the world he lives in now. He often uses rustic iron background to reflect the modest and simple neighborhood where he lives and work currently.

As one of the most promising emerging artists, Hendra Bayu Hermanto posses both technique and clear concept in his works. He was inspired to explore the notice boards that are commonly seen at offices or even at our own homes. Through these boards, he takes us to different stories and journeys. Currently, he is working on the "remembering" series, which basically reminding us of people who have influenced and played an important role in the history of mankind. He skillfully adds messages and pictures related to the person he chose to be remembered in his work. It gives his audience the pleasure of finding the unexpected message, drawing, and other things on his notice board.
