Batch Four
With Picks of the Harvest we strive to spotlight the artists that we feel represent the upper echelon of the new contemporary art movement along with artists still on the ‘come up’ that we admire. A collection of the art stars of tomorrow if you will. With Batch Four, our latest installment in this ongoing exhibition series, we have thrown caution to the wind.
We will be packing our walls salon-style with over 300 works from 120 artists who were invited from all facets of the scene including commercial illustration, graffiti, graphic design, tattooing, animators, and many still in art school. Picks of the Harvest: Batch Four is a behemoth of a show. A virtual visual overload promising a staggering array of artistic styles and techniques await our patrons this April.
21 states. 10 countries. Over 120 artists. 300 works of art.
It’s Never Real With You
Even as a little boy, artist Joshua Krause (b.1977, NYC) found great pleasure in picking up the tiny pieces of trash that littered the ground, constantly reprimanded by his folks for picking things up with his hands. But one day, Joshua dropped down to his hands and knees on the sidewalk, lowered his head, and picked up a piece of gum with his mouth. It was this genius rationale that unquestionably pushed little Joshua in the direction of artist. Joshua lives in San Diego, and he uses paintbrushes, sandpaper, his hands, and yes, sometimes even his mouth.
His paintings and sculptures are manifestations of an obsession, humor, and hope in finding his individual path in a world that seems to be on another page. These "new relics" exist as both objects/ideas that take themselves too seriously on one end, and tongue-in-cheek on the other, created in a world that is simultaneously absurd and reasonable. Their meanings and symbols are to be studied and decoded as an archeologist or art historian would. They can also be viewed as the inside jokes and observations of a comedian piecing together his act.
His list of past clients includes the likes of Fuel TV (FOX Cable Networks), The New York Times, BPM Magazine, Revelation Records, San Diego City Beat and many more.
