Taro Suzuki

Taro Suzuki’s artistic energy emerged in multiple disciplines over the course of his development. While he was lead singer for the No Wave band “Youthinasia,” he gained notoriety for his light installations. Harnessing the power of questions and contrasts in traditional optics, he has used painting and sculpture to further pursue his interest in visual dissonance. A two time Pollack-Krasner Grant recipient, Taro Suzuki works have been exhibited at MoMA, NY and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.

Kennedy Yanko

Kennedy Yanko uses a unique medium featuring found metal and paint skins to create evocative, abstract sculptures. To create these paint skins, Yanko pours industrial paint onto a covered ground, then peels it off.

Tomashi Jackson

Tomashi Jackson makes compositions—often three-dimensional assemblages composed of layered paper, textiles, plastics, embroidery, prints, photo transfers, and other materials—that meditate on the systemic abuse, disenfranchisement, and displacement of communities of color.

Astri Snodgrass

Astri is an artist and educator based in Boise, Idaho who was recently recognized by the Hopper Prize. Her practice is born of a sense of playfulness, and engages with craft as a language, family histories, the passage of time, and daily domestic tasks (like compost, cycling the old with the new to create fertile territory).

Olivia Booth

Olivia is a Hopper Prize winner. She says glass is always present in her work. Paired with drawing and painting, and used in a collage-like manner, it’s there to call framing into question.

Carmen Anzano

Carmen sees the world “as ‘shapes and threads’, elements from which she continues to weave new shapes and emotions. She interlaces string, thread and ribbon to generate surfaces with which she articulates spaces and configures a cosmos of lines and dynamic tensions. These lineal frameworks dominate together with a colour scheme at times vivid, intense and energetic, at others harmonious, subtle and mysterious.“

Duane Linklater

is included in Junkyard of Dreams at Bortolami. Linklater’s practice is concerned in part with the exploration of the physical and theoretical structures of the museum in relation to the current and historical conditions of Indigenous people and their objects and forms. These explorations are articulated in a myriad of forms including sculpture, photography, film and video, installation and text works.

Sean Kratzert

Sean is a self-taught artist and multi-instrumentalist that currently makes work on the CT shoreline. He is informed by his passion for art history and contemporary art, as well as his experience working with materials as a carpenter and house painter. This has led to Sean’s deliberate use and misuse of materials in the studio through painting, collage and sculpture. By mixing paints that don’t mix and allowing organic works to form, he can lend to the idea of an object growing (or decaying) in time and space.

Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt

Alonzo Davis

Davis’ six-decade-long career (which Parrasch Heijnen is pleased to highlight in the gallery’s first solo exhibition covering the same) has explored a wide range of media and methods, from mural to print, painting, sculpture, performance, and installation. As co-founder of the Brockman Gallery, the first major Black-owned contemporary art gallery in Los Angeles (1967 – 1990), Alonzo Davis sought to champion Black artists including David Hammons, Suzanne Jackson, Betye Saar, Senga Nengudi, Noah Purifoy, and John Outterbridge, among many others, in a time when white, male art was prevalent. Davis’ appreciation and promotion of Black artists and cultural references collected on trips all over the world are often referenced in his own work.
