#derkrippe

Featuring 3 sneak peeks today as we play catch up for Derek Rippe's 10-features-in-10-days series. First up, this snippet of Trophy, a 6 x 6 inch cut-paper in antique-frame piece by the artist. This work is part of Rippe's 15-piece series entitled Scherenschnitte (scissor cuts in German), 5 of which were included in last year's exhibit Too Art for TV 7, the artist is exhibiting 10 new pieces from this series in his upcoming solo show. Continuing with Rippe's desire to subvert innocence, these works take figures from classic children's tales and twist them into modern, sinister and irreverent scenes. Making Fun, Rippe's first solo exhibition at Bunnycutlet Gallery, opens THIS Friday, February 7th, 7-10pm.
