Michael Reeder’s “DEADRINGER” at Hashimoto Contemporary NYC.

Opening on Saturday, December 1st, 2018 at Hashimoto Contemporary at their New York City location is artist Michael Reeder’s solo exhibition, “DEADRINGER.”

Through the use of bold saturated color and graphic geometric patterns blended with figurative elements, Reeder’s work delves into the concept of self, and the innate human desire to be an authentic entity. Skulls and hands are prevalent in the artists work, calling attention to both internal and external physical elements that connect us all as humans. As we strive for uniqueness, we are bound together through our humanity, highlighting the fact that we are ultimately the same.

About the exhibition, Reeder states, “I wanted to focus on how similar we as humans are regardless of our external differences and how desperately we attempt to stand apart in society. We are all composed of distinct experiences, backgrounds, cultures, fashion styles, careers, etc., yet it is all individually mashed up into a dead ringer, almost carbon copied vessel - the human body. This concept is the underlying premise of DEADRINGER.”

The exhibition will be on view until December 22nd, 2018.

Artist: Linsey Levendall

Linsey defines his work as being engaging decadence, mildly trippy and takes great joy in entertaining the viewer with obscure controlled chaotic worlds and strangely interesting and complex characters. While his skill lies in his versatility and ability to adapt to various styles, he finds himself mostly drawn to Cubism, Surrealism and Pop Surrealism. In his work, he aims to stay open to evolving and preserving unconventional thinking

Opening this Saturday, August 4th, 2018 at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist Alex Garant’s breathtaking solo exhibition entitled, “Voyage of the Insomniac.”
