“Seattle artist Charles Krafft utilizes the traditional techniques and materials of decorative Delft ceramic painting to explore the sometimes-Orwellian realities of our times. Images of natural and socio-political catastrophies decorate his ceramic objects. In addition to ironic commemorative plates and plaques, Krafft makes porcelain weapons and ammunition. Krafft has produced some amazing Delft pieces for this show including hand grenades, AK 47s and Tommy guns.” [Info via Stolenspace]

Pedro Inoue - Terror Mon Amour At StolenSpace

23rd August - 17th September

Terror Mon Amour is the first solo show of Pedro Inoue. The exhibition is a vision of an evil paradise of our decadent corporate culture. The works seduce and manipulate with their excess, drawing the viewers attention to its superficial beauty. It sheds light on the power of image today by mimicking the formulas that corporations and governments use to disguise the most horrendous acts of war, torture and terror.
Artist statement: My work is a visual response to the state of the world today. I try to put into evidence the corrosion of today’s consumerist society through accumulation and not destruction. Using the symbols and messages that constructs our corporate culture, I want to create a portrait of our contemporary society, reflecting the duality of beauty and horror present in our daily lives.
