🔵 #ÉliseLafontaine, Goes through, like a dart, 2023

💭 Hiroshi Sato is known for his contemporary realist oil paintings exploring the various states of consciousness. Drawing on influences ranging from Johannes Vermeer to Edward Hopper, Sato uses predominantly solo figures facing away from the viewer, inviting them to look below the surface. Born in Japan but raised in Tanzania, Sato was exposed to a broad spectrum of cultures, communities, and languages throughout his early life which has led to his desire to explore the influence of culture and class on the human condition throughout his work. Although best known for his interior and exterior scenes, Sato also paints still lifes.

🌵 Having graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design just last year, Drew Dodge has already been labeled one to watch. His works are in prestigious collections like the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami, and have been presented at The Armory Show in New York. He is currently represented by 1969 Gallery in New York, where his solo exhibition “Deep Down” opened earlier this year to high collector interest. Beyond this, he has presented solo shows with renowned galleries such as Steve Turner (who represent him in Los Angeles) and L21 Gallery in Mallorca, and participated in group exhibitions at Eve Leibe Gallery in London, Galerie Droste in Düsseldorf, and Semiose in Paris. By grappling with themes of identity, queerness, mortality, and belonging, Dodge’s paintings excavate questions buried deep within the human psyche. In particular, he asserts the primacy of humanity’s connection with the natural world by dissolving the binaries between animals, objects, people, and things, giving form to a universe where coexistence, symbiosis, and hybridization run wild.

🐉 Patrick Martinez’s large-scale abstracted landscape paintings, reflect the visual language of East Los Angeles and the changing nature of the artist's local community. Collaging elements from vernacular architecture with aerosol paint tags and references to, for example, Nahua, Aztec and Mayan mythological forms, the paintings unearth a hybrid sense of people and place.
