(openPR) - "If we spirits have offended, think but this and all is mended: that you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream.” A summer group show featuring Brian Horton, Mimi S., Leslie Ditto, Marina Bychkova, Edith Lebeau, Martina Secondo Russo, Elmer Presslee, Angie Mason, Kristen Ferrell, Seymour, Wee Flowers, Oksana Badrak, Lori Field and others. Opens June 12th at 7 p.m.
Right in time for summer solstice, Strychnin Gallery presents a light and beautiful group show featuring works by over ten internationally renowned artists. Creatures straight out of fairytales, goblins and fauns that made it into the digital age (works by Badrak or Mimi S.) and inhabit the dreams and nightmares of our childhood like in Mason’s and Ferrell’s work, are having a jolly get-together in our exhibition rooms.
Strychnin Gallery invites you to a White Night in the wake of the longest night of the year but let us not forget that the sun will shortly reach its zenith and Strychnin owner Yasha Young is already preparing us for fall and winter with this carefully curated exhibition.
MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S MADNESS –
A Summer Group Show
Runs until: July 5th 2009
Opening hours: Thu & Sun from 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., Fri & Sat. from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m.
With galleries in three bustling hotspots – New York City, Berlin, and London – Strychnin Gallery is a playground for artists from all around the globe. It is a place where collaboration is encouraged, new projects are constantly developed and creativity is the one and only thing that truly counts.
Owned by charismatic curator Yasha Young, Strychnin is dedicated to presenting emerging American artists to the European art world and vice versa. It features a variety of artists with particular individual styles rather than artists belonging to a collective “hip” movement. If you insist on putting a label on them, try lowbrow turned highbrow, pop surrealism or fantastic realism among others.
Founded in Brooklyn in 1998, the gallery opened a European showroom in Berlin in 2002. The US gallery has since moved to a location in Manhattan’s Chelsea district, opening with a group show featuring over 70 artists in October of 2006. Strychnin Gallery opened a third location in East London’s vibrant art scene right off of Brick Lane in October 2007.
The gallery participates in major international art fairs on a regular basis, including Bridge Art Fair, Liste, or Art21 in Cologne, which appointed gallery owner Yasha Young to its selection committee in 2008.
