"If You Blink, You'll Miss It": Quim Tarrida's Solo Show @ Toy Art Gallery 12/09/2011

"If You Blink, You'll Miss It" is the artist Quim Tarrida's first exhibition in the United States, and Toy Art Gallery is proud to be hosting such a show... and what an interesting one it is! This project is part of the Sub-heroes Project, which includes a large part of the artist's multi-disciplinary production from the past few years. The title is derived from a film industry jargon term, which is used to refer to subliminal images inserted in some sequences, and which are imperceptible to the naked eye.

The exhibition consists of an approach to the personal universe of Quim Tarrida, which he himself calls the Subcutanian World, a microcosm inhabited by strange, metamorphic and viral beings, true anti-heroes on the verge of the uncanny. Projections of the self or of Neo-pop alter egos, ultra-world characters, compose a unique and prodigious imaginary, and attain form through a series of sculptural pieces, limited ceramic editions, and drawings, notable among which are classical pieces from his iconography, such as Subsub Family, The Soldier, Subcutanian Ninja, Oh Gaar, or his latest productions, Relaxing in Blue and The Monkey Knows.

The show titled "If You Blink, You'll Miss It" starts this Friday, December 9th, 2011 and will be up until December 30th... making it the last TAG show of 2011! The opening reception goes down from 7pm-11pm on December 9th... so if you are in the LA area, don't miss out on this show as you can very well see it may be one of the more unique art shows to hit the designer toy scene!
