GR Gallery is pleased to announce “Fake and Corny”, the first solo exhibition of CB Hoyo with the gallery, after two years of collaborations. The show will reveal, for the first time in a public exhibition, the latest series of artworks that the artist has been working on for months: the “Corny Quotes”. Appositely conceived for this occasion, these new works will irreverently crowd the gallery walls, offsetting the artist signature “fakes” paintings. This exhibition will mark a crucial step in the artist career since it will be the last one, or at least the last one for very long time, showcasing his signature “Fakes” and the first one exhibiting the new “quotes” artworks. For this occasion all the Fakes included will be inspired to artworks in NYC museums or private collections. ‘Fake and Corny’ is arranged in a sort of liminal space in between two different artistic cycles, showcasing anthological examples of CB up to date vision, through his classical artworks, and overcoming it with the exclusive approach of his new inspiration, that will guide his future production. The show will put together several original pieces executed with different media and in various sizes.
Opening Wednesday June 24, at 2:00 PM (Exhibition Dates: June 25– July 18, 2020). Members of the press can contact GR gallery in advance to schedule a private viewing and an interview with the artist. The exhibition will be open by appointment only and will be in Virtual reality through our website.
