Furthermore, Yormick’s favorite: paint stroke bamboos, smells neo-modern, which is to come after post-modern. Bamboo is made of straight lines, yet certainly is a product of moody nature. That betrayal are often preferred in neo-modern space design. This fickle bamboo hides in Yormicks layered paintings, just like how his text hide and seeks. “I love the throwups and tags, which most people hate. I LOVE those things,” comments Yormick. This nostalgic statement just confirms his boundary, being way far out, while he shys away with a friendly smile. I don’t know how many movements have spinned around in that head.

Currently a resident of Los Angeles, Yormick’s solo show is viewed at New Image Art. Show titled “Brigknot Sinkings“, suggesting sinking battleship, are lined up with human size canvas and pile of vintage suitcases. Soon after you’ll realize the water level reaching your knee cap observing the soaked (with pastel blue paint) suitcases. The artificial dynamics rule the gallery space while the leak of water calls for trauma against great nature. Water here is the organic element in the gallery space, balancing out the ultimate order that the canvas display creates in the room.

To be organic while pursuing minimalism seems all of a sudden popular now, but must not forget these emerging artists who has a say on the “trend” or social tendencies instead of synchronizing with them. Nostalgia is encouraged through most unexpected’s mouth at times. “What is good is good”, simple yet strong streamline of thoughts connects the the neo-graphic artists. Flex your antenna. You might be able to catch the noise in the air.

Part of the current show on view “Brigknot Sinkings”, Yormick’s banner (limited edition of 10 each) is available through New Image Art for $100 per piece [+ shipping fee] .
