Leonard Tourné Gallery and Spoon present Drawn & Quartered, a one-night group exhibition featuring more than 50 works of art from Justin Baldwin, Max Glaser, Julian Gonzalez, and Venuz White. Justin Baldwin’s work explores his experiences as a half-Japanese and the lifelong reality of walking cultural margins. His work involves ideas about nature vs. nurture, business vs. war (or business as war), socioeconomics, science, multiculturalism, values and belief systems. He will be unveiling a series of drawings completed entirely in transit on the New York subway. Max Glaser’s work explores the physical creation of information. Pushing the underlying properties of conscious formation, he investigates four-dimensional reality’s compression into data’s flat imago. Julian Gonzalez will be showcasing a brand new series of acetone transfers inspired by the book, Birds, Beasts, and Flowers by D. H. Lawrence. Venuz White’s work splits in two complementary directions, one in which she investigates the behavior of color in acrylic painting, in reference to its essence and chemistry, and another in which imagination leads to a poetic approach of the unseen, as if penetrating nature’s epidermis, uncovering a microscopic universe, invisible to the human eye, but at the same time vibrant and vital.
