Friedrich Kunath's "I Don't Know The Place, But I Know How To Get There"

Currently on view at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles, California is artist Friedrich Kunath's solo exhibition, "I Don't Know the Place, But I Know How to Get There."

Kunath utilizes a personal style of romantic conceptualism, layering poetic phrases with poignant, often melancholy imagery. The work embraces comedy and pathos, evoking universal feelings of love, hope, longing, and despair. The artist’s personal journey from Germany to Los Angeles plays a key role in his work, incorporating German Romanticism and western popular culture, with still life, cartoon imagery, commercial illustration, nature photography, and lyrical references.

The Japanese-Brazilian talent presents powerful new works for her first solo show at Blum & Poe in Tokyo.

"To say that artist Asuka Anastacia Ogawa is worldly is an understatement. Born in Tokyo, she moved to a rural farm in Brazil when she was three, attended high school in Sweden, and then later relocated to London to study at Central Saint Martins. Now dividing her time between New York and Los Angeles, Ogawa draws on these rich cultures and experiences to cultivate an artistic language all her own.

In the dreamy paintings that are currently on view at Blum & Poe in Tokyo, androgynous, doll-like children march and float across monochromatic backgrounds. Their distinctive faces with almond-shaped eyes gaze out beyond the frame and seem to be full of secrets from another time. Resisting any clear interpretation, the enigmatic images instead nod to mythology and ritual, and for Ogawa, act as a spiritual conduit to her Japanese and Afro-Brazilian ancestral lineage. “Two elements I love most about paintings are experimenting with color and developing the faces of my subjects,” says the up-and-coming artist. “While I don’t have a theme when I paint, I am always thinking about my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and our ancestors’ beauty, strength, struggles, love.”

Solange Pessoa, Installation view, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, 2017

Solange Pessoa (b. 1961, Ferros, Brazil) hails from the state of Minas Gerais, the land of Baroque and Rococo, soapstone mines, vast celestial nightscapes, and reserved temperaments—elements inextricable from her philosophical practice. The concepts of time, intuition, and primordial memory guide her artistic output—the creatures of her Botânica and Animais paintings recall those of prehistoric cave paintings; her Mimesmas sculptures conjure mollusk fossils or ancient tools of stone. Her art privileges the organic—she mines the primal realms of the psyche by means of hair, dry leaves, leather, oil, fat, wax, animal blood, minerals, powder, pigment, plants, roots, moss, seeds, and eggs.  source & more:
