Christian Rogers and Shohei Takasaki create paintings and drawings with explosive color palettes and undulating forms; shown together, the two artists' works are brazen and strangely sensual. Curly Hair / Hot Metal draws from varying inspirations—Rogers references queer history and vintage erotic magazines, while Takasaki's aesthetic hints at promiscuity, but remains rooted in urbanity and metropolitan values. Despite their differences, the works fit together like jagged jigsaw puzzle pieces—see them before the show closes on August 28.
