Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) August 30, 2016
Twisted Art Gallery is delighted to present The Unfolding, a one-of-a-kind exhibition featuring the artist collective Trifexy. This groundbreaking show will debut a never-before-seen series of exquisite corpse artworks, revealed for the first time even to the artists, during the opening on Thursday, October 6, 2016. The exhibition runs through October 22nd, with an Artist Talk on October 13 at 7:00 P.M.
So, what is an exquisite corpse? Historically, it’s an artistic technique invented by the Surrealists who wanted to access parts of the mind repressed by societal rules. Without a preconceived notion of the final image, the participants produce a collective drawing or collage by folding the paper and adding images or patterns, allowing a fantastical parade of hybrid creatures and unexpected juxtapositions. The results are novel, exciting, unsettling, and at times resplendent with desire.
About Trifexy
Formed by contemporary artists Omayra Amador, Kim Johnson, and Nancy Good, the Trifexy team came together to push the boundaries of creativity, trust and comfort, and from this collaboration emerged these truly exciting pieces. This rare project includes six mixed-media works made through the process: each artist added their section in secrecy, without seeing that of the other two. Trifexy’s project has been hailed as an inventive contemporary interpretation of the early 20th century Surrealist artistic game:
“We have seen manifestations of this modernist technique such as that of the Chapman Brothers. However, Trifexy’s project is exciting not only as part of this contemporary movement that adopts and reconfigures traditions from Surrealism, but also because Trifexy’s work shows contemporary feminine views of the world. This is important because Exquisite Corpse is a practice long dominated by male artists, particularly in the early Surrealist circle, with the exception, perhaps of Remedios Varo.” (Rosa JH Berland, Art Historian, New York).
The Trifexy artists are united by an interest in artistic inquiry, pushing the boundaries of medium, working in the studio and out, and using art as a way to tap the unconscious. Come see this new work revealed for the first time, take part in the game of chance, and discover and experience the power of artistic energy and collaboration. http://www.trifexy.com
