Desert of the Hyperreal
Allouche Gallery is pleased to present a group show of 12 artists living and working in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and London. Their diverse and contrasting practices collapse the distance between the contemporary and ancient. From Ben Noam鈥檚 salient rocks in Bouldering Flow, to Yung Jake鈥檚 cartoon trimmed self-portrait, layered familiarities blend and riot like waves. Jeanette Hayes De-Mooning series overlaps 20th century images from postwar and girl power America across from Leila Rahimi鈥檚 timeless, myth-teeming seascape. Images from nature represent a surrendered state of consciousness as it observes the tectonic clutter of human civilization. Anja Salonen鈥檚 鈥楳ycelial Kiss鈥 shows what is impressive yet unseen to the impersonated eyes of those who surround us in Sang Woo Kim鈥檚 鈥楪lances 001 & 002鈥 -their dialogue washing an undone heart. Tae Lee鈥檚 loose yet hypnotic scenes of spiritual repose contrast Sickid鈥檚 graphic milieu. However, an undeniable homecoming is ushered by them both.
