Keepsakes

Kiko Bordeos and Alexis Gallo

Opening Friday
April 3rd, 5-8pm*

On View
April 3rd-May 26th

Keepsakes is a collection of work by Kiko Bordeos and Alexis Gallo that
capture and preserve moments in time. Through the use of grids and vibrant colors the canvas acts as a record and container for experiences and emotions, making the intangible, tangible. These process based arrangements allow for play and spontaneity that create a dialogue of past and present self that is reflective, energetic, and immediate.

About the artists:

Alexis Gallo

Alexis Gallo is a Brooklyn based interdisciplinary artist. She typically works with acrylic paint, sometimes letting the paint dry in sheets so it can be cut and applied to canvas in an experimental collage-like approach. Her color palettes are often inspired by nature and her work explores themes of longing, transformation and reflection.

Kiko Bordeos

Kiko’s paintings layer grids and patterns of hard-edge color that draw formal inspiration from design, urban infrastructure, and the visual palette of city life. Frenetic, abstract juxtapositions ultimately find balance in a controlled chaos that can be equated to extractions of a street scene, or a street scene compressed. Urban influences are distilled into visual circuit boards of paint whose bold colorways reference Kiko’s native Philippines and its continued influence on his practice in Brooklyn, New York. Manila’s vibrant memory is matched by the influences of painters like Carmen Herrera, Jonathan Lasker, and Nicholas Krushenick, thereby locating Kiko’s work in a lineage of abstraction that is explicitly driven by the charged potential and deployment of color as a geometric spirit.
