Michael Page was last featured in Hi-Fructose vol.19. Images from his upcoming April 14th showing at White Walls in San Francisco appear to be electric. Bursts of glowing color seem to pulse at the viewer. Abstract bursts and realistic figures and backgrounds seem to collide with energy. We don’t want to give too much away but here are a few previews of his new body of work! Page’s Élan Vital will feature thirty paintings and six drawings, as well as an installation.

These are so much fun. I love how each costume is bizarre and colorful. I bet it is amazing to watch them move in person and during a performance.

Here is a gallery that represents his work: Jack Shainman Gallery

Here is his website, which is incredibly creative in its presentation: SoundsuitShop

Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed.

Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms.

“My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception,” he says.

“The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge.”
