Allison Cole and Genevieve Castree April 15 @ Junc Gallery [ca/usa]

Like the best mythological stories Genevieve Castree has an uncanny ability to manifest universal sentiments and truths yet in an accessible updated adaptation that balances comics with her own personal and abstract internal language.
The results are careful and delicate drawings of characteristically dark and sparsely populated universes that are poetic, surprising and lonely "the secrets of which one yearns, as always, to be a bit more privy to." For this show Castree uses that same sensitivity for an amazing new series of drawings many of which revolve around the theme of war.
Allison Cole known for her resolutely minimal comics which chronicle "the Strange details that make up everyday life." creates a series of wonderfully peculiar and intricate cut paper drawings.
Based on the 7 deadly sins. They have the familiar quality of children's book illustrations led astray and on closer inspection also reveal themselves to be an unlikely combination of idiosyncratic charm and tense, telling moments of desire frozen in time.
To say we are excited to have the opportunity present these drawings which we've posted online is an understatement.
Its going to be a really strong show so we hope to see you there!
