Synthetic Nuvism: Scott Jacobson, Clove, and Jason Fascination

August 16 - September 25, 1994

 

nuvism swings, dips and covers its mouth to conceal a salacious grin. Filtered through KALEIDOSCOPE EYES, suburban ennui, debased 60s icons, and the tackiest abstract painting ever found at a local art fair, it grooves to the heartbeat of a culture that has clearly exceeded its speed limit. 

 

artificial. plastic. fake. Artists today provide artifacts drawn from a reality that is increasingly experienced in reproduction. vinyl celluloid. tape. Technology is the new spirituality, a virgin territory for communion through the extension of human gesture. sampling. synthesizing. internetting. We scan the out-of-body electric.  

 

turgid biomorphs drip from Mondrian’s runny nose, overtaking the Cartesian grid like a virus. ejaculates blurt out codes as old as the Rosetta Stone. Imps of teen lust stare out from paintings so tumescent they begin to bulge in relief. All-flowing in sexual currents, through high-voltage art we Transcend.
