Wonderland: Scott Everingham & Kumiko Fujinami

We are pleased to present two new artists to our gallery roster:
Scott Everingham creates environments that are at once tangible and indeterminate, acting as modes of escape to fictional or alternative realities in his oil on canvas works. In these spaces, oil paint makes up the structure and life of architecture and human presence, and its materiality is used as a tool to characterize familiar signs and forms. His approach to the development of a painting is impulsive and instinctual, with each mark informing the next - producing work that is both deliberate and spontaneous. Everinghamâ€™s ambiguous, unfamiliar settings â€“ with broken structures and visceral anatomy made from the language of paint â€“ may suggest an insecure state of being, but may also bear moments of utopian renewal.
Kuminko Fujinami has been working focusing on lines in both painting and drawing. Her work is very labour intensive, it takes up to six weeks to complete a work. She sometimes has had to wonder why she works the way she does, she has realized that what she does now is similar to what she had done when she was a writer, hand writing letters and characters. Drawings are poems written in visual language, and paintings are essays and stories.
