“Cuatro Love”: Essi Zimm, Rene Gagnon, Morley, and Max Neutra<\/p>\n

“Cuatro Love” is four mini-exhibitions.\u00a0Rene Gagnon presents “Post Graffiti Abstract Expressionism”. Morley’s exhibit is of poignant typographic-inspired work. Max Neutra shows\u00a016 pieces, exemplifying his \u201cride on the line between mayhem and control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of interest to Kolaj Magazine<\/em> readers, German artist Essi Zimm’s “Nacht”\u00a0explores dark fairy tales using the artist’s\u00a0signature multimedia, collage and painted works.<\/p>\n

About her work, Zimm says, “Practically, folklore is the study of human creativity in its own context. My art can be summed up as confessions of paper, a way to visually communicate truths, accessing the space occupied by folklore. Paper conceals and communicates meaning, and can be destroyed and overlaid in various modes. I begin a piece by abstractly representing an image in paint, which I then cover with paper: scraps found, created from pulp, or hand illustrated. I then peel away the paper, leaving a construction bearing a nonlinear but viscerally personal connection to its origin. The accumulated papers mimic the debris that sticks to memories; it mirrors waking life\u2019s uncanny transfiguration in our dreams. Where realism trusts only what can be tested and seen, folklore presents a world vibrating with meaning, a morally charged and heavily fated universe that rejects logic in favour of the non-linear.”<\/p>\n
