Floating World: Part One

Shooting Gallery is pleased to present the new work of KeFe, artist duo Kelly Tunstall and Ferris Plock, in their latest exhibition titled Floating World: Part One. The opening reception will be Saturday, July 12 from 7 pm to 11 pm. The exhibit will be on display through August 9, 2014 and is free and open to the public.

KeFe’s new works in Floating World: Part One showcase both collaborative and solo pieces, are an exploration of favorite themes, and center around a profound love for Japanese traditions and culture. The title of the show is in direct reference to the ancient art of Ukiyo-e, which translates to “pictures of the floating world.” The concept of an actual floating world intrigued the two artists and they began building a body of work around the idea of an unrooted, ever changing place where anything is possible. KeFe’s floating world is a dream destination where characters achieve the impossible, where buildings come alive after eons of slumber, and where different species of animals converse openly with each other and with their human companions.
