May 02, 2008 | | Judith Supine |
Dirt Mansion, a Judith Supine solo show, is exhibiting in Brooklyn at Bushwick's English Kills Gallery until June. The graffiti artist's large-scale collages consist of magazine cut-outs and photographic images which he has digitally enlarged and painted. His palette is bright-hot pinks, neon yellows, greens, and blues that stand out on the urban canvas. Supine's figures are fantastic, distorted images of people, animals and situations mostly created from rubbish and found objects. In Dirt Mansion, he creates a gallery-wide installation of his contorted figures and imagery, set in a black box which adds to the eeriness of his convoluted sculptures. In addition to his dark side, Supine is playful with his environment, he once created a floating sculpture in the East River, a large-scale hanging banner which hung from the Manhattan Bridge, and he has pasted an anti-war collage onto the walls of Time Square's army recruitment station. In this, Supine inhibits the role of the street artist, remaining mysteriously under-the-radar. Although little is known about his background or his motives, Supine is considered a member an elite group of Brooklyn-based street artists, which include Bast and the duo Faile. In January, he exhibited with Bast in a show titled, Booby Trap, at the Leonard Street Gallery in London.
