Ross + Kramer is pleased to present Point of View, Stickymonger’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, opening October 24, 2024. The exhibition will be on view through November 30, 2024 at the gallery’s Miami Beach location.
Created using only spray paint, the eight new paintings featured in Point of View mark an evolution in Stickymonger’s dynamic style—her compositions becoming softer, and communicating remarkable depth. Reflecting on the subject of memory and perspective, they recall an intimate sense of flipping through a photo album, when a vaguely familiar story is beginning to unfold before your eyes or one that you can’t seem to put together. Stickymonger portrays her characters in vulnerable, pensive states which they share with themselves: while eating, reading on the beach, or behind a filtered lens.
Stickymonger’s works converts familiar scenes to dreamlike universes, exploring broader themes of womanhood, anxiety, nostalgia, and the mundane. Though her influences stem from surrealist masters,‘80s and ‘90s movies to Japanese anime, it is the everyday observations and personal experiences that inform her practice the most: with her unique visual language, Stickymonger captures life’s never ending moments, however strange these may be.
Stickymonger is a Korean artist, currently living and working in New York. She received her BFA in Visual Information Design from Ewha Womans University (Seoul, South Korea) and an MFA in Digital Arts from the Pratt Institute (New York, NY). Stickymonger’s work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Ross + Kramer Gallery (New York, NY); NANZUKA 2G (Tokyo, Japan); WOAW Gallery (Untitled Art Fair, Miami, FL); Villazan Gallery (Madrid, Spain); For You Gallery (Paris, France and Dubai, UAE); Allouche Gallery (New York, NY); AFA Gallery (New York, NY); and more.
Point of View will be on view October 24–November 30, 2024 at Ross + Kramer Miami Beach. The gallery is located at 1910 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL, and is open Tuesday through Saturday by appointment. For more information and images, please contact cielle@rkgallery.com.
