Kravets Wehby Gallery is pleased to announce Chris Regner’s Atomized Antihero in collaboration with A Hug From The Artwork World. On the celebration of Regner’s second solo clearly show with the gallery, Kravets Wehby Gallery has invited A Hug from the Art Earth to be part of a twin locale exhibition. Site visitors are invited watch a part of the exhibition at Kravets Wehby Gallery, 521 W 21st Street, and then a second assisting two blocks absent at A Hug from the Art World’s new site 515 West 19th Avenue.
Regner’s figures are stitched collectively from myths, personal narrative, and historical/pop lifestyle. In this human body of function, his attention shifts to mythological gods, posing them as fallible beings. Frankensteinian in mother nature, each and every 1 is pushed to the restrictions of absurdity to negate their sinister effect. The extremely-pristine surfaces help in smoothing out any traces of the grotesqueness, a kindness extended by Regner’s mastery of the airbrush. Cohesive and lyrical, Regner pulls again the curtain to peer at what is genuinely driving the facade of the gods. What he finds are children’s costume capes colliding with Air Max 95s in lethal serious and brutally humorous exams of mortality. Envy, hope, resentment, triumph–humanity cannot be evaded even by the gods.
