Best Pairing of Artists
Jay Gould Stuckey and Rachel Frank in Rapt
With this summer's Rapt, Fahrenheit Gallery proprietor Peregrine Honig made an unlikely yet successful coupling. Los Angeles artist Jay Gould Stuckey rubber-stamps and scribbles swarms of airplanes across brightly colored paper in chaotic patterns, and recent Kansas City Art Institute graduate Rachel Frank pieces together sculptures of human torsos and accompanying furniture and bathroom fixtures with muslin and polycotton filling. Stuckey's planes shoot slender bullets and fire teardrop-shaped missiles at each other; Frank's patchwork, Raggedy Ann-like figures stare blankly ahead as though suffering from the shock of the loss of their half-missing appendages. Each artist's work is simultaneously macabre and playful.
