About 'Graphic Surgery' at 886 Geary Gallery:
In their very first solo exhibition in the USA, Graphic Surgery will exhibit in one of the project
spaces of 886 Geary Gallery showing a varied selection of works. Introducing American
viewers with a variety of work, the exhibition shows recent and brand new works, created
specifically for this exhibition. Being a project space exhibition, they focused on small and
medium sized works with a lot of attention to detail. The focus is on material, depth/ layering
and very limited use of color.
Industrial structures and construction cranes are their main source of inspiration and are a
returning element in their work. The construction cranes symbolize the fascination the artists
have for the continuously changing urban environment.
About The Artists
Graphic Surgery (Amsterdam)
Over the years the works by Graphic Surgery have been exploring the boundaries of different
techniques and genres within their trademark style. The artist duo freely moves from
paintings, to murals, videos and installations while maintaining their systematic aesthetics of
diagonal lines, geometric planes and a mostly black and white non-colour scheme.
Graphic Surgery is formed by Erris Huigens (1978) and Gysbert Zijlstra (1978).
