This is Ema Ema Ema. I think the best way to talk about Ema’s work is via the disparate ways my partner and I viewed her works. In no particular order; my partner saw a ballroom full of people dancing and I saw writhing neon worms, my partner saw a pigeon on its side wearing a hat and I saw the contraption from eXistenZ trying to penetrate a wall, my partner saw mountain ranges surrounded by the crashing waves of the sea and I saw the birth/death of the universe. And this is what Ema’s work is about, ambiguities and grey areas, open-interpretation. Her work does not quite satisfy definition for any kind of strict classification, and that is why it is so excellent! Her work is about everything, whatever we the viewer want, wherever it and our minds take us. Aesthetically too our definitions are thrown out the window, painting and drawing techniques are mutually implemented and it becomes uncertain if you are viewing a felt tip drawing, an acrylic painting, a pencil drawing.. and I don’t think you are looking at one or the other, you a looking at them all. Ema’s work makes us constantly question our values and attempts of absolute certainty. There is veiled sampling here, similar to early works of Fiona Rae and Daniel Richter but with the excitement of formal exploration as in more recent works by Laura Owens and the work of Good Wives and Warriors. To see where Ema’s imagination takes us next press here.
This is Flokim Lucas, a French Drawer born in Seoul. At first glace I almost dismissed Flokim’s images as overly sleek vector art. How wrong I was. The skill of hand and imagination that goes into creating the work we see here is astounding. Flokim creates a terrifying dystopic world which uncomfortably mirrors our own. The surreal images lead our minds to wander the broad problems inherent in our own world as we see in the news daily as well as the potential of our own dark side. We are left pondering our very makeup in the same vein as a close encounter with Francis Bacon. To see where Flokim takes us next follow her here or here or to see her video for Bot’Ox ft. Anna Jean - The Face of Another go here.
