Boxi at Carmichael Gallery

the embrace

Next month Boxi has a solo show at Carmichael Gallery. “Grey Area” is Boxi’s first solo show in the states. The exhibition is open from April 9th to the 30th.

From Boxi

“I am drawn to the incongruous narrative in figuration. My works aspire to polarize the stability of what is at first perceived to be harmless or sweet but in reality turns out to be pathetically desperate or tragic or vice versa.  A dark disillusioned romanticism pervades though out… (along with) confrontational themes such as paranoia, disappointment, expectation, grief, mistrust and other upbeat reflections of our times.

“It is in this state of reflection, this ‘grey area’ of ambiguity and blurred truth that I have found myself in, a place where trends and crashes in the market aggressively threaten and pressurize social behavior. Making life sized figures that articulate this uncertainty is a way for me to come to terms with the phrase ‘of our time’.”
