Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts is pleased to present Ways of Seeing, a group show featuring the work of Javier Bellomo Coria, Martin C. Herbst, Sungchul Hong, and Na Chainkua Reindorf. This show, on view December 4, 2020 - January 1, 2021, considers tactile modes of visualization while highlighting innovations with alternative materials. Each artist pushes the boundaries through unique modes of production while creating visual suspension and prompting interaction with the viewer.

Javier Bellomo Coria (Argentine, b. 1968) shreds portraits and landscape images and then delicately pieces the images back together. The result is a textured visual experience that emphasizes delicacy, slight movement, and meditative breath. His subjects and processes bring us to a place of tranquility, caught between wakefulness and sleep, where dreams flicker with cinematic notions of landscape, and our sense of place.

Martin C. Herbst (Austrian, b. 1965) is fascinated by the human face. His works, often created on mirrored surfaces, articulate, blur and distort the human visage in a manner that causes the viewer to question their own eyes. His works are never stationary and prompt interaction and playfulness. These constantly shifting visuals slip in and out of completeness like mercury.

Sungchul Hong (Korean, b. 1969) creates ever shifting nearly ghost-like artworks. His String Mirror series involves printed images on elastic strings that are then arranged sequentially and with depth. The resulting fragmented visual means the viewer is unable to ever quite catch the complete image in a comfortable manner as they navigate in front of the work. In addition to his string work, Hong’s Perceptual Mirror series uses solar LCD units to animate a fragmented grid, creating a sense of life in a mechanical work of art. When navigating around these works, the viewer becomes a part of the piece, animating the gridded plain with their reflection.

Na Chainkua Reindorf (Ghanaian, b. 1991) explores the rich cultural history of Ghanaian textiles in her labor intensive practice. She takes the traditionally utilitarian act of weaving and transforms it into an aesthetic visual language in her gridded glass beadwork. While the end result feels spontaneous, their painstaking assembly with nylon thread calls upon their fragility and careful consideration. Reindorf’s work draws attention to labor, tactility and the meditative process of weaving.
