Amos Mac, Hein Koh, Erik Foss, Scooter LaForge Exhibition
Munch Gallery
This event has ended.
Munch Gallery presents new work by four New York based artists. Represented artist, Scooter LaForge, has created large mixed media work on paper, and a triptych on canvas titled Designer Imposters after Willem de Kooning’s Woman series. Hein Koh is showing her sculptural work for the first time at our gallery - entangled with luster, plaster, pain and pleasure.
And we are happy to welcome back Erik Foss with a selection of abstract paintings, strangely obssessive and instant in nature, and a confident, square black and white portrait series of James Darling, candidly captured by photographer, Amos Mac. Together they seize a heated New York, alluring the viewer by smirched palettes, fat strokes, lustrous tactility and eyes on point.
