Sonja Teri & New Image Art

The exhibition features the artist's newest and most ambitious work to date, showcasing more than twenty canvases and large-scale woodcut sculptures up to fourteen feet high. Supine has transformed the entire gallery into a personal installation space, covering every inch of floor, wall and ceiling with silk-screened wallpaper, his signature fluorescent colors and dreamlike narratives.

Ladyboy references the genderqueer. Supine describes the title's significance as the marriage of opposites in one person — comparable to the technique of collage, combining seemingly disparate images to reveal something that wasn't previously apparent. An intimate encounter by the artist with a ladyboy in Bangkok served as the stimulus for this exhibition ~ Sonja Teri

Paul Minor ~ Possession [Short Film]

Director Paul Minor [Editor ~ Push Your Head Towards the Air, AFI ~ Medicate and Muse ~ Starlight] teamed up with designers The Battalion and S.S. Halajian to shoot a new short film ~ Possession ~ exclusively for Ben Trovato.

Possession was shot on 35mm with 2:24 TRT ~



Conceptually, it is really all in the title, Possession, which obviously has a double meaning. I wanted to play with multiple planes of overlapping action, and it all kind of comes back to this idea of twos and binary opposition throughout the piece. I'm sure there is a dash of Voodoo in there too. Maybe I've seen The Serpent And The Rainbow on cable one to many times ~ Minor.
