Featuring new works from New York-based artists Beau Velasco, Daniel St. George II, and Jeremiah Maddock an exhibition entitled Un Named Rottens has been formed and will showcase works that look at the primal side of the human psyche and its relation to modern society at Factory Fresh.
An artist with no formal training, Beau Velasco grew up on a farm in the Australian outback. In his early 20’s, he moved to the US to pursue Noise/Pop music with his sometimes band, The DeathSet. While working as a tattoo artist in Harlem, Velasco is constantly creating new art and writing music for his new band, Giantize. Beau Velasco currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Daniel St. George II visually narrates his life through writing, cryptic symbolism, and popular cultural imagery. As he creates his own mythology, St. George redefines the context of how things are viewed in relation to one another; he embraces the ideas of rejection and loss. His works juxtapose images with text, creating a new relationship between the two. Struggling with the idea of what it is to be human – selfish, scared, loving, and rejected, his new work is done on found, stolen, or discarded paper and objects. A resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Daniel St. George II attended Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
Jeremiah Maddock’s latest body of work is an example of his ever-expanding visual narrative. Having recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY from the rural Washington woodlands, Maddock found himself among the emerging creators of the New York art scene. His works are an attempt to create the purest expression of existence, totally free from external conditioning and undefiled by compromise. His language is a crystal-clear spring flowing with Machiavellian-like "musical hieroglyphics." At times disconcerting, his works possess a certain candor and delve into the perception of the supernatural.
Factory Fresh, located at 1053 Flushing Avenue (corner of Vandervoort Place) NYC, June 28 – July 21, 2008.
