Saturday, January 7th from 6 – 9pm Mindy Solomon is pleased to present an exhibition of New York based, longtime gallery artist Super Future Kid. Moonrise Sisters is her first solo exhibition since moving to the United States from the United Kingdom. Writer Tara Anne Dalbow has written the following essay regarding the show. This exhibition is on view January 7 – February 11, 2023.
Super Future Kid is seeing double. The seven paintings in Moonrise Sisters illuminate the generative power of human connection with extraordinary emotion and immediacy. A departure from her previous works, which primarily championed individual characters and their nonhuman guides, such as butterflies, cats, and bears, this exhibition celebrates human companionship.
The twin figures seen throughout, rendered in an exuberant color palette and arranged in striking compositions, appear to be two halves of the same whole; their relationship, a third thing that transcends the limitations and boundaries of the self. The artist!s interest in Plato!s concept of twin flames, a single soul split into two bodies, comes in part from her grandparent’s relationship. “They were so united and connected that they became one whole until my grandfather passed away,” says SFK. The artist employs symmetry, reflection, and mirroring to emphasize the figure’s interdependence and the impossibility of harmony, balance, or equilibrium if the halves were to be separated.
