Alex Kvares discusses Oh So Fail at the Beep Beep Gallery
November 12, 2009 at 10:39 am by Wyatt Williams in Visual ArtsGood intentions don’t always make for successful realities. Atlanta based artist Alex Kvares explores those “moments of unfulfilled hope” in his solo show Oh So Fail, opening at Beep Beep Gallery this Saturday, November 14. Oh So Fail looks at abandoned cold war military bunkers, Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain, and other connections to “collapsed ideals, dilapidated utopias and various ruined promises.” Kvares often draws in colorful short, stitch-like strokes, referencing craft-making and psychedelic aesthetics. You can preview a few of the pieces from the show and listen to Kvares discuss his work in the video.
Oh So Fail runs from Sat., Nov. 14 until Sun., Dec. 6 at Beep Beep Gallery. 696 Charles Allen Drive. 404.429.3320. beepbeepgallery.com
