STEPHEN J SHANABROOK : IN PILLS WE TRUST
Jan 21 - Mar 13, 2010
An American artist based out of New York and Moscow, Stephen j Shanabrook will present new works at Orel Art UK which examine the disturbing space between painful and sweet, death and beauty. The primary theme will be the exploration of addiction, the way its soft seductive whisper turns into the heaviness of an everyday fight. In a poetical and tangible way, Shanabrook will explore the side effects of urgent social phenomena - addiction to prescription drugs, to religion and even to one’s own heavy memories. Working with a discomforting yet visually stunning combination of materials, Shanabrook forces the viewer into the dialog with their own unconsciousness.

Sep 16, 2011 - Feb 10, 2012 FINAL WEEK
Artist Andrei Molodkin is returning to Art Sensus with a new site-specific installation. Transformer no. V579, is a new body of work produced in Molodkin’s signature Constructivist style featuring a monumental corridor of oil and light, a video depicting the artist’s creative process and a laboratory of drawings and photographs. Instead of yelling its slogans, like the artist’s previous works, this exhibition will rely upon interaction and experience: in order to glean an understanding from Molodkin’s minimalist artwork, visitors must engage, participate and communicate with their environment.
