Ms. Katagiri also creates unique handmade ready-to-wear and custom orders.
Message From Artist I believe there are spiral shapes all around us. The clockwise and the counter clockwise. When the spirals meet, we can create great energy. If we can connect to the universe, we can know the future. That’s because our DNA remembers everything since the universe began. But we can also just enjoy this moment and be happy! October 17th is my 35th year anniversary of being in NY. I thank all my friends and everyone I know for helping me to have a joyful life in NY.
AG Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition “Human Meets Human” by a French artist Florent Poussineau is opening this Saturday, September 14. Please join us for the opening reception and meet the artist. The exhibition will be on view through September 30, 2024.
In this exhibition, visual artist Florent Poussineau presents the encounters he has had in various countries such as Japan, Estonia, British Columbia, Bulgaria, the United States, the Netherlands, Lebanon, and many other places around the world. During his extended artistic residencies, he conducts an anthropological investigation into humanity. The scenes depicted by the artist evoke moments of sharing, meeting, humor, social connection, as well as local folklore with which these inhabitants have grown up and attempt to pass on. Showing the daily lives of people living on the other side of the world holds particular significance. Often, we perceive our own daily lives as mundane and uninteresting. However, what may seem ordinary to one person can be extraordinarily exotic to another. Exoticism does not only reside in distant lands or unknown cultures; it is present in our neighbor, in the details of their daily life that we do not know.
About Artist
Florent Poussineau is a contemporary French artist based in Reims, France. Poussineau’s works are about relationships between people both individuals and as a society and food/ food industry. In this exhibition we present Poussineau’s latest drawings and paintings focused on people who he met through numerous residencies around the world including Japan. This exhibition is a unique exhibition of the artist as we focus on people he encountered instead of the food culture which he is mostly known for. Poussineau has been creating works from questions about the relation that we all have with food in the society. Poussineau uses food both as a fine material, close to a piece of art, elite, and as a repulsive and disgusting element.
AG Gallery is pleased to announce the new exhibition “Glitches” by Erica Linnemann is opening at AG Gallery on Saturday August 3rd, 2024. The exhibition will be on view August 3, 2024 ~ August 31, 2024. Please visit AG Gallery and check out her latest drawings. All drawings are one of a kind and come in a unique vintage frame selected by the artist. Many of the original, framed illustrations are also available on tee shirts, hoodies and tote bags, all of which were hand-printed by the artist.
About The Artist Erica Linnemann’s drawings attempt to playfully capture mental struggles and everyday experiences. The miniature figures seen in some works represent thoughts, ideas or feelings, depending on the concept or situation.
About “Glitches” “Glitches” features nearly 50 new illustrations by Erica Linnemann, along with hand-printed apparel and original bookmarks. This exhibition seeks to highlight some of the “Glitches” inday-to-day thoughts, interactions and general life. A conversation gone wrong, an unwanted thought, a flaw in the wallpaper. While they shed light on these “Glitches,” the illustrations also, in some strange way, celebrate defects to offer a new perspective.
