Shaun Krupa : Lost Body
The soft pencil drawings of his castings are blueprints for his physical endeavors - the ultimate goal of which is to become one with the earth. These works on paper examine the ground below us in relation to our bodies. The careful planning seen in these renderings manifests into a group of cast soil-cement body molds. The surrounding canvases of propellers, which he analogizes to hands, are painted with the same sensitivity as if they were flowers.
Krupa uses performative modes to make a series of 鈥渇ish prints鈥, in which he guts a fish and dips the various parts in paint; the fish body analogous to his own unexplorable interior. Krupa also presents a series of still lives, each centered around a human hand, and each providing an alternate milieu for the aforementioned extremity.
