Press Release
KS ART presents an exhibition of paintings by Lucky DeBellevue, drawings by Jeff Davis and collages by Christian Holstad.
Lucky DeBellevue's new paintings wink knowingly at modernism. Their imprecise patterning evokes a punk-meets-Marimekko sensibility. He mixes printing and spray-painting techniques to build images of loosely realized landscapes.
Jeff Davis' new series of pastel drawings look as if Tiepolo were drawing underground gay religious comics. Made with a light touch and sureness of gesture, these works seem both timely and antique.
Christian Holstad's collages from 2003 stage male couplings against a background of stylish '80s bathroom interiors. Patterns and textures flow from the room's surfaces into similar patterns that define the men creating a tension between the collages' formal qualities and their erotic power.
