“Curious Organisms”

Opening Reception: Saturday, November 3rd, 7-10pm // RSVP to rsvp@kpprojects.net
KP Projects is proud to present a new exhibition of works by Travis Louie. “Curious Organisms.” Driven by a curiosity with animals, and their penchant for adventure, Louie finds inspiration in the anthropomorphic characters of J.J. Grandville’s series Les Métamorphoses du jour and Beatrix Potter’s 19th century illustrations, including the well-known Peter Rabbit.
Through meticulously painted details, Louie’s characters challenge our perception of fact or fiction. Louie transports us into a world so engaging and vivid that we would rather believe in it than question its veracity. We are left with the impression that if we dig deep enough into that bin of discarded photographs at the flea market we just might chance upon the kind of charming oddities featured in Louie’s paintings.
