“The Scenic Route”
Dec 5-8, 2019
Pulse Miami, Booth 314
artists: Deborah Druick, Yikui Gu, Zoia Skorodapenko, Diana Wege

curated by: Stephanie Young

Vellum Projects is pleased to present “The Scenic Route” at Pulse Miami Dec 5-8th. The title is taken from a work in Yikui Gu’s classic yellow series using the artist’s interracial marriage as a jumping off point to create mixed-media commentary sprinkled with popular culture and socio-political satire. In contrast Zoia Skoropadenko’s meditative (intellectual) landscapes sketched on trains then further realized in the studio, capture the artist’s journeys that reflect on her excitement and anticipation encapsulating memory, contemplation and illusion. Cutting in are Deborah Druick’s graphically inspired paintings. Focused on the objectification of women and emphasis put on femininity and beauty, the artist conjures subtle and clever feminism through gesture and placement. Moving on are prints and drawings by enviro-conceptual artist Diana Wege whose stance on conflict resolution and climate change become slogans and symbols that simultaneously engage and disturb.
