Amerika : Jan 6 - July 31, 2008
FusionArts Museum is pleased to present Toxic Paradise and Amerika, two solo exhibitions of work by
multidisciplinary artist Shalom Neuman.
The title of Shalom’s Amerika is a nod to Amerika, the early unfinished novel by Franz Kafka. This series of faces, described by international art critic and lecturer Robert Morgan as “... less portraits than archetypes - composites of much of the weirdness that the artist encounters in human beings who hang-out around the vicinity of his studio in Brooklyn” are created from modeling paste, acrylic paint and found objects surrounded by little plastic figures. There is the added dimension of sound in this series as each piece has a set of sound chips, giving each “Amerikan” a voice of his or her own. Amerika will be on exhibit in Gallery B.
