Philly’s own Vox Populi’s October exhibition features new work that will blow your mind. Filled with humor, sophistication, sarcasm, sex and death, this exhibit is sure to elicit a wide range of emotions. Next month’s exhibit will feature the works of Vox’s own Piper Brett, Becky Suss, and guest artists Kikuko Tanaka and Emily Rooney.
Piper Brett creates works through the process of fabricating objects and altering found objects. Her work has been reviewed on the artblog.org in the Philadelphia Weekly, and in the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was also featured in the Summer 2011 Edition of ArtNews as a Critics Pick by Edith Newhall.
Becky Suss is a painter and also makes drawings of landscapes in her new exhibition, Drawings. Her work portrays actual, remembered, photographed, and idealized versions of specific places. She has been exploring murals in Philadelphia recently. This will be her first show of drawings and sumi ink works.
Kikuko Tanaka works in multi-media. She performs and exhibits her work and has an interdisciplinary background. Her work has been reviewed in Art in America, Art Info, and Hyperallergic and she was nominated for a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Art Grant in 2010.
Emily Rooney works with video, sculptural and photography. Her work examines the depressive and artistic inheritance passed from Brian to Carnie Wilson. She holds an MFA in Photography from the Tyler School of Art.
This is sure to be a brilliant exhibition. Make sure to stop by on Friday, October 7 for the opening reception.
