Consumerism & Product #1

YaYa Chou's new work for this show, focuses on historical references to the Victorian era when wild animals were used for decoration. Taxidermy showed a level of status & worldly endeavors of the man of the house having conquered the wild beast on an exotic journey of Man's Inhumanity to Animal. In the mean time, the lady of the house flaunted her expertise in fine stitching, her status in society marked by the ladylike ephemora alongside the beastly decor - that of embroidery, doilies, floral wall paper & velvety fabrics.
Chou's use of Gummi Bears in several sculpture pieces are consumer products that ironically are also the shape of wild animals - specifically bears. In addition, her mixed media paintings using Victorian inspired silhouettes over floral patterns and vintage-like embellishments enhance the premise.

Gummi Bear Chandelier:$1600.
Gummi Bear Rug "Simon":$2600.
Mixed Media Paintings:$335. and up

Katy Bowen's work incorporates repetition of pattern & shapes using materials commonly found in childhood craft projects, such as felt & pompoms, upon precisely painted narrative paintings on panel. This new work created for the show is truly unique & void of pretense while crossing the bridge between high & low art without being low-brow.
Her images are of nostalgic places that are folkloric and realistic, illustrative and humorous. Her paintings are overall studies in color, materials, shapes & stories. Also of note are her sculpture which further explore the use of repeated & layered shapes in conjunction with tactile orbs of pompom puffiness.
