Atrementum: Karen Hsiao, Dan Quintana, and Steve Diet Goedde @ Vanilla Gallery

Vanilla Gallery presents beautiful, sensuous, and elegant artworks of three Los-Angeles-based artists: Karen Hsiao, Dan Quintana, and Steve Diet Goedde. In their works, we see realities where the prosaic, the simulated, and the surreal are entangled; and with restraints, resistance, and defiance in their cores. Whether it’s a struggle against the restraints of the finiteness of life, one’s prescribed role in life, or one’s environment, none of these artists’ subject is lying down without a (silent) fight. And, she is doing this in spite of knowing she is in a no-win situation. Each one of them never stops reaching for the thing she desires even though she knows what she can grasp will never be enough.

ヴァニラ画廊はロサンゼルスを基盤に活動している3人のアーティスト: カレン・サイア、 ダン・キンタナ、 スーティブ・ダイエット・ゲディの美しく、刺激的かつ優雅な作品の展示会を行います。 彼らの作品の中に状況とは日常、ロールプレイとシューレアリズムが絡み合っていることを見ることができます。そして状況の中核に拘束、抵抗と反抗が存在しています。それは束縛された有限の命の抵抗であり、一人の人間の定められた役割であり、環境なのです。 どの作品の中の女性も勝てないと分かっていても抗っています。 そして彼女たちは手に入るものは十分でないと分かっていても、己の願いに届こうとしているのです。

Karen Hsiao is a self-taught fine art photographer who started her career in the art industry as a figurative painter. Graduated from Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Illustration, she  has explored various art mediums and find photography a natural extension of her artistic endeavors. Her first book – Karen Hsiao: Rubber Duck – is a pictorial representation of the conscious and unconscious mind, starting from childhood, to adolescence, and death. Her latest book – Black Cherries – expresses subtle hints of lust and rebellion within bondage.

カレン・サイアArt Center College of Designイラストレーション科を卒業。卒業当初、カレンは比喩的な画家として活動していた。その後、様々な媒体を通じて、写真こそ自分が目指してきたアートの延長線上にあったことに気づき、独学で写真を学ぶ。彼女の初の写真集『RUBBER DUCK』は、意識と潜在意識を視覚的に表現。このシリーズは根源的なシンボルのラバー・ダックと共に幼年時代から始まり、青年期へと続き、 死で幕を閉じる。最新の写真集『Black Cherries』では、ボンデージの中で強い欲望と抵抗を示す何気ないヒントを表現している。

Dan Quintana‘s works are the results of his ruminations on the power of life and the reality of death. Known for his macabre yet elegant works, the beautiful and decadent subjects of his paintings serve as constant reminders of the finiteness of life and exhortations to hold onto the beautiful aspects of life even though they are in constant processes of deterioration.

ダン・キンタナは極めて優美で形象的な世界に浸った女神のような不気味な肖像を描くアーティスト。キンタナにとって、光は生命の象徴であると同時に、優雅でありながら対照的に謎に満ちた痩せこけたイメージを用いる作品は、生命の力と死の現実との間の象徴的な相互関係を模索しているかのようだ。
