Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork presents a striking visual commentary on the experiences of migrants and refugees. The composition features a chain-link fence or barrier that dominates the frame, with silhouettes of people visible behind it, conveying a sense of confinement and isolation. The muted colors and harsh, industrial materials used evoke a sense of harshness and adversity. The subject matter addresses the complex social and political issues surrounding migration, highlighting the human cost and the need for more compassionate and just policies. The artist's intention seems to be to draw attention to the plight of vulnerable populations and the barriers they face, inviting the viewer to reflect on these pressing humanitarian concerns. ...

Gallery

Various Small Fires

Los Angeles, Seoul, Dallas

Various Small Fires (Los Angeles /Dallas /Seoul) began as a series of conversations with artists and curators in Esther Kim Varet’s Venice Beach kitchen while working on her doctoral dissertation. VSF debuted in Hollywood as an official gallery in 2015 with a roster of artists and its current Johnston MarkLee Architects-designed building. The Hollywood gallery contains three exhibition spaces, a unique sound corridor, and an outdoor gallery. VSF’s exhibition program explores several curatorial lines: climate, equality, and an international conversation. The gallery is known for offering artists debut shows, creating intergenerational conversations among the artists on its roster, and solidifying artists’ legacies within art history. In 2019, VSF opened a second location in the Hannam neighbourhood of Seoul, South Korea, followed recently this Spring by VSFs third outpost in Dallas, Texas. While Varet has very personal connections to both locations, they are also superlative art communities. These expansions emphasise the gallery’s commitment to innovation and global dialogue in the twenty-first century. In 2021, VSF became a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). ...
