This event has ended.

This exhibition marks Mr. Bourgeois' second solo exhibition with the gallery; the first, Something Wicked This Way Comes was mounted in 2008. SYS™ follows closely the recent inclusion of his work in a group exhibition at the Puffin Room in Manhattan for which he was also one of the curators. Following the exhibition at Causey Contemporary, Kevin's drawings will appear at the Fountain art fair in Miami in December 2010.

Kevin Bougeois takes as his medium, graphite and adds to it colored pencil along with found objects. He combines formal drawing techniques with strong socio-political messages while experimenting with form and content. The themes of his extremely detailed drawings are centered around the juxtaposition of technology and human nature, individuality and consumer culture, superficiality and altruism. The writings of Jean Baudrillard, Hakim Bey, Allen Ginsberg and Arthur Rimbaud appear frequently, interwoven with the drawings and often influencing the subject matter. The SYS™ exhibition will again grapple with these issues drawing references figuratively and literally from current issues.
