Mars-1 and Nouar at Jonathan Levine
This Friday, February 20th Jonathan Levine Gallery will be hosting side-by-side solo shows by Mars-1 and Nouar. Mars' show will be titled "Nuclear Mystic" while Nouar will let you know "You Look Good Enough to Eat." These artists' works are completely different yet both take us to incredibly vivid imaginary worlds, and with both of them incorporating their works into site-specific installations we can count on them to be bridging the gap between their worlds and ours.
From the gallery:
"Nuclear Mystic [is] a solo exhibition of new works by Mario Martinez, also known as Mars-1. For his second solo show at the gallery, the artist has created a collection of original large-scale works including abstract paintings on paper and wood panel as well as a series figurative sculptures in bronze, all of which will be incorporated into a site-specific installation."
"You Look Good Enough To Eat!, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles based artist, Nouar. For the artist’s second solo show at the gallery, she has created a collection of original oil and acrylic paintings on wood panel, which will be incorporated into a site-specific installation. You Look Good Enough to Eat! expands upon Nouar’s character-based aesthetic. A feast for the eyes in the most literal sense, her highly stylized, crisply rendered figures depict a variety of edible subjects, personified and bursting with life. The artist’s work is reminiscent of—and inspired by—vintage imagery that encompasses post-WWII era animation, packaging and advertising art, particularly of the food industry."
