Two Looks At Youth  Download Press Release
Rather than having their work consumed by a market-driven, corporate-tumor aesthetic, the artists exhibited in POP is Native Vinyl at Pop Gallery (133 W. Water St., 820-0788), subsume those aesthetics to their own use. A theme show where most of the work was made atop vinyl record albums or other appropriated surfaces, the simple exertion of contrast against an iconic form creates the distinction between art and ad fluff that was absent from Ortiz’ efforts. Whether in the punk flier-style assaults of Jake Fragua, the hipster cartooning of Watermelon 7 or the introspective and illustrative works of Rose B Simpson and The Werewulf Micah, there is a gritty, earnest awareness of the artist’s hand and intention throughout Vinyl.
