C.A.V.E. Gallery is pleased to present "Pop" - an impressive new collection of work by Dutch artist, Sit. "Pop" is the artist's fourth exhibition with the gallery.
The installation includes 24 paintings, in a range of sizes and media, including a special series of spraypaint on glass pieces - created with amazing technical detail, yet ethereal in appearance through the transparent canvas.
The new "Pop" series continues the artist's examination of our increasingly visual and fast paced society - where technology depletes active human experience and continues to fuel human obsession with appearance and materialism. This time, the images are also portrayed through a synthetically chromatic lens.
Departing from the artist's distinct style of exclusively creating monochromatic figures, stripped of color as they are fading from a healthy existence - for this show, Sit also incorporates artificial hues associated with a world engulfed by plastic.
Some of these candy-colored figures are excessively inflated, and on the brink of exploding. Other pieces depict animals - whose natural patterning enables them to camouflage themselves in their environment - shown with synthetic rainbow-colored fur coats - symbolic of the plastic fantastic evolution into an artificially Kool-Aid infused world.
Sit's artwork has been exhibited in Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona and Stockholm, was incorporated into an animation for the 2014 Pearl Jam Tour and the re-opening of the Stedjelik Museum in 2013.
