Review by Artist: Love is A Roar-r-r-r! Plus One -

While I am doing something, there is something new is happening in this city.

Art is always there in New York City. 

Of course, art is happening even when I am catching cold..., 

So I of course head out with layers and layers of clothing.

Info for the hpgro Gallery Uship Shinohara Exhibition

An energetic exhibition with three artists, Ushio Shinohara is the main artist of this exhibition. 

For this specific show, the cardboard sculptures are presented as main work. 

I personally wanted to see more of his paintings on their own as the space is filled with people and sculptures, it was hard to see the large paintings. I would love to see an exhibition dedicated to his boxing paintings. 

Noriko Shinohara, she did a story telling painting filling the entire room with a large continuous painting. Medium she used was oil and she specially painted the piece for this exhibition. 

According to her, the painting she did for her last exhibition at this gallery looks totally different from the one made and exhibited this time. It is rolled and stored at her studio. It will be great to see the two next to each other in the future.

Her wild and confident yet rounded brush stroke lines on her oil painting on white canvas were uniquely standing out. 

Alex Kukai is the youngest artist in the exhibition as he is their only child.

Lines in his works gave me very sensitive or unstable impression compared to Noriko's likes, (not a passive way instability but there is something ungrounded, although lines are sharper than Mrs. Noriko's works.)

His lines has slightly thinner and more straight geometric impression. I enjoyed a dessin displayed on the right left bottom of the wall of the left side of the room when you enter, he drew in around 2008 the piece after Ushio made the sculpture which is also exhibited in this exhibition (as the largest work in the  main room) .

Okay, got great energy from them and now getting back to studio for own creation.

 well... I guess first I need to take care the cold.



love,
