HOFA Gallery, Mayfair - Monday 6th May to
Friday 31st May 2019
LONDON, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- After the
recent and highly successful exhibition in LA, this solo show,
which marks Klibansky's first in London, will open at HOFA Gallery (The House
of Fine Art) in Mayfair on Monday 6th May until Friday 31st May, 2019. The exhibition then moves to
Nammos Village in Mykonos for a summer show (1st
July).
Joseph Klibansky is an emerging
artist based in Amsterdam. His
work examines the relationship between a thing and its essence,
between what we see and what an image implies. Using a process of
figurative and abstract layering Klibanksy's large-scale idealistic
paintings explore perception by compressing time and space,
resulting in something that at first appears joyous, often
descending into bleak melancholy.
Following Kilbanksy's premiere exhibition at HOFA in
Los Angeles, renowned art critic
Peter Frank said:
"Joseph Klibansky is making
conceptual sculpture, not Pop sculpture per se, so he operates in a
discourse closer to Hirst than to Koons, but directly related to
neither. I see clearly what he is saying as an individual artist,
and how he is saying it, and how he evolved to this
point."
Playing with the implication of what is seen versus what an
image implies, Klibansky's hyper-realized paintings and sculptures
address phenomenology (the study of structures of consciousness as
experienced from the first-person point of view) and explores
realms where both utopian and dystopian truths can co-exist.
Alongside the paintings will be a series Klibansky's of bronze
sculptures. These playful figures aim to represent the
juxtaposition between symbol and association.
In Reflections of Truth II, Pinocchio is weighted down by an
impossibly-large diamond carried on his shoulders. Made of shiny,
polished bronze, the deceitful puppet can be found almost charming.
Big Bang, a gigantic black gorilla head clad with a golden party
hat and horn, is shown in sharp contrast with the animal's sullen
gaze. Made of glossed and polished bronze, this sculpture was
realized with the aid of a 3D printer. Klibansky's practice often
allows technology and traditional artistic techniques to
coexist.
Opening on Monday 6th May and is free to attend.
Private viewings Thursday 9th May 10am until
5pm and VIP drinks reception 6.30pm (invite only).
