MANTIS LOKE – July 13 – 28 Friday -Sunday. Mantis Loke is a collaborative experimentation within the territories of painting, sculpture, and installation. Site specific to ARCANE Space, Fuller, Graff, and Lombardo III have been invited to completely canvas the space to create one big enveloping work. Reflecting a combination of abstraction, mixed media, and the language of symbols, they transpose their painting styles by crossing over each other’s work while banding together for the entirety of this project. The show will also include individual works by each artist within the collaborative effort. In 2024, Fuller, Graff, and Lombardo III, painted and exhibited together at the Bombay Beach Biennale along Southern California’s Salton Sea. It was here that they created the name Mantis Loke to describe the ancient, primal, mythological, current, and fresh “wild man life force” that was generated while they worked together. They bring this energy to ARCANE Space for 3 weekends in July.
