Many of the works utilize electricity, light, and kinetic mechanisms. The artist, whose background includes study as a metalsmith, creates small metal objects that sit on a motorized platform. The metal figurines are lit by a strobe light. As they spin, accompanied by a musical track, they create the optical illusion of animated objects in real space. Consisting of a mirror ball, fan, and metallic pinwheels, the piece creates a frenetic light display which can be viewed through an elementary lens placed within the gallery.
Viewers peer through the lens and a peephole that looks into the closet in order to view the piece.
Steve DeFrank is represented through a drawing and an illustrated sculpture. DeFrank has created a process by which to dye the pegs of this popular children's toy in hundreds of color variations. His works appear like electrified Pointillist paintings. A large-scale painting by Lydia Dona is on view. Dona, who recently held a solo exhibition at VanLintel and Nussbaum Gallery in New Yonk, creates images based upon automotive manuals and diagrams for machines.
