Linda Brosterman

In her latest series, Waves: A Moment in Time, LG Brosterman explores the power and beauty of the ocean through the abstract forms created by waves as they crash. With each piece, she tries to capture the perfect randomness of the never ending, eternal, action of the ocean. Using 20-30 layers of paint, and the ironically precise placement of every color, splash and droplet, her abstract expressions remind us of the awe-inspiring, infinite, artistry of one of the great natural phenomenon. Each of LG’s paintings utilize a range of different techniques and mixed media, including watercolor, acrylic, and gouache. The finished work treats the viewer to a cohesive, unique, vision of the majesty of the subject. A millisecond of pure energy is preserved for all time.

Lowell Boyers

Lowel Boyers’s paintings are explorations of how multiple images can take shape and evolve on a surface. Each work is an amalgamation of forms—bodies, architecture, landscapes, and animals—that are not immediately recognizable or fully articulated. The themes are sometimes loosely autobiographical. In his own words, his paintings are “manufactured and manipulated chaos,” in which “nothing is accidental.” He also asserts that time does not exist in his paintings, because each image is a collage of moments. Boyers experiments with mixing the effects of various techniques, including applying paint though pouring and spilling, as well as with a brush. Boyers also paints with mixed mediums, including acrylic paint, ink, and resin watercolor.

Minako Iwamura

Minako’s current works on paper and wood panels are an exploration of geometric patterns, incorporating fractals in its pictorial structure and evoking elements in nature. She is interested in dualities - the coexistence of geometry and nature, singular and the collective, premeditated delineation and intuitive movements, parameters and chaos, to name a few. Through them, she portrays a particular state that hovers in a precarious spot of in-betweeness to evoke the untethered and openness.

Fractures in Serenity at Lorimoto Gallery, 1/18 - 2/9, 2020

Lorimoto Gallery is pleased to start off the New Year with an exhibition - Fractures in Serenity featuring artworks by Habby Osk and Minako Iwamura.

Habby Osk is a sculptor who’s engages gravity into her work. Simple geometric masses in form of a sphere , cylinders and cubes are carefully balanced and displayed. Viewers are confronted with precarious compositions that can easily become disrupted. Each sculpture is a sensitive composition of balance andstability. Osk’s work is a contrast of permanence and frailty. Objects cast in concrete possessing stability and weight are placed in a manner that could be lead to destruction with the slightest change of weight distribution. Osk’s sculptures are always under tension . A tension that suggest the fine line or the frailty that lies between quiescence and chaos. Osk is originally from Iceland and currently a recipient of the prestigious ISCP Studio program for 2020.

Minako Iwamura’s work is a delicate balance of serenity and emergence. Constellation like etchings and lines emerge on a background that resemble the sky at daybreak or at night. Each pattern is meticulously placed , some paying homage to her Japanese heritage. Iwamura’s paintings exude a spiritual undercurrent , as if the lines and patterns are the consciousness and the quiescent background is the unconscious. There is a strong presence of duality in her art . A stoic execution of parameters versus the intuitive free forming or nature versus geometry. A duality which illustrates the state that hovers in a precarious spot of in-betweenness and the untethered.

Both artists are stylistically diverse, however both possess bi-cultural backgrounds and their works suggest a sensitive balance of two states. The unifying factor is the presence of a fine physical line - symbolically a force in which keeps the two states at an equilibrium. If serenity were a thin sheet of glass, Osk and Iwamura’s work represent a faint fracture present, yet staying dormant and maintaining the peace.

Fractures in Serenity will open on the 18th of January from 6PM and will be on view each weekend from 2-6PM or by appointment.

Brooklyn, NY – Tiger Strikes Asteroid New York is pleased to present an exhibition launching our 2020 Flat File program. Chosen from an open call that attracted a diverse range of artists, the 19 selected represent an array of approaches towards flat media: drawing, collage, painting, printmaking, photography and artist books. In many cases the selected works are emblematic of an artist’s core practice, for others, they represent vestiges from studio processes, and some works present experimentation and a departure from a larger body of work. The small-scale format presented in our program presents an elastic site for play and exploration. During this exhibition, and throughout the year visitors are welcome to browse and acquire

artworks from the flat file. Individual pieces from the program will be selectively highlighted throughout the year. All works can be viewed on our website.

The 2020 Flat File features works by: Eleanna Anagnos, Rosaire Appel, Mitchell Barton, Rachelle Bussières, Robin Crookall, Sadia Fakih, Asuka Goto, Steven Hampton, Minako Iwamura, Vaughan Larsen, Eric Larson, Nicholas Moenich, Dan Oliver, Rowan Renee, Kara Rooney, Will Sears, Charles Sommer, Jason & Leslie Urban & Mutchler, and Ilana Zweschi. This year’s flat file was organized by Yael Eban, Rachael Gorchov and Andrew Prayzner.

Tiger Strikes Asteroid's 2019 Exhibition Program is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
