CHIAOZZA's "Inside Mirror"

Currently on view at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City is artist CHIAOZZA's solo exhibition "Inside Mirror."

The exhibition will be CHIAOZZA’s inaugural presentation at Hashimoto Contemporary. Their collaborative practice explores intersections of the natural and imagined world, using play as a tool to bring to highlight the wondrous, magical and humorous in the everyday.

Inside Mirror focuses on distinct bodies of work in the artists practice: Bouquet Paintings, Pulp Paintings, Wooden Wall Works and Paper Pulp Sculptures. Tying the works together is the artists’ interest in harmonization of color, movement and form, as well as a love of materials such as paper pulp. The artists pull from various sources for inspiration, including jazz improvisation, Suiseki - the Japanese art of stone appreciation, the exploration and abstraction of forms, and natural light phenomena.

About their process, CHIAOZZA states, “As an artist duo, we are in constant dialogue, engagement, interaction, play and critique. The scrutiny we place upon ourselves and our work is a consistent exercise of re-examining our craft, form and concept. We are reflecting pools for each other’s ideas, magnifying each other’s passing thoughts through physical, mental and spiritual rigor. Inside Mirror is a poetic nod to this collaborative, contemplative practice that makes up our day-to-day experience and guides our studio investigations, from paintings of surreal still lives, sculptures of amorphous lumps, wall structures of reflected color, experiments with sculpting mediums and more.”

A common thread is a search for drawing out the substance, giving form to the imagined and making the unexpected feel harmonious. Similar to how one needs light to see a reflection, Inside Mirror hopes to collect the luminous, and bounce it back to both the viewer and artists.

Self-Directed Project (Artist Research)

I decided to extend the previous Project 1 Art + Light & Fantasy for this project. I am interested in exploring mixed media, particularly with clay(ceramics) and acrylic painting - bringing dreamscape (2D) to life (3D) OR creating sculptures from elements of the painting.

During the process of researching, I was also attracted to some specific painting styles that I will incorporate in my final artwork. For instance, Wilhelm Sasnal's artwork reminded me of a recent artist that I found on the Internet, Brooke Cormier.

Wilhelm Sasnal

He is a contemporary Polish artist known for his diverse body of work which includes paintings, drawings, films and photographs. I was interested in the quality of his paintings - often characterized by swirling gestural marks and can be interpreted in various ways.

The swirling gestural marks contribute to this sense of ambiguity, allowing viewers to project their own emotions/meanings onto the work. They often exhibit cinematic quality with the use of light and shadow, the composition and the sense of movement.

Brooke Cormier

She is a Canadian artist that I found on the Internet. She works mostly with paintings in oil and acrylic, by taking photographs as her own reference pictures.

The swirling gestural marks in her paintings are more joyful and make me wonder about her work. The elements in her paintings are more realistic and trigger my own memories to those elements.

For the ceramic part, I am deciding between having the sculpture extend out from the canvas (Willy Verginer and Christopher David White) or floating in front of the canvas (Yuko Nishikawa and Adam Frezza & Terri Chiao) - having some sort of connection between the dreamscape and the sculptures.

Willy Verginer

He is an Italian sculptor who creates figurative sculptures from wood, pieces that allow his carving skills to stand out with minimal additions of monochrome bands of paint. Most of his sculptures are adolescent figures with elements of whimsy and imagination. Alongside the forms that evoke childhood games are thick stripes of monochromatic paint, which wrap around the sculptures and bisect them in unusual places.

Christopher David White

Born in Bedford, Indiana, the Virginia-based American artist makes his beautiful artworks by hand. He creates what looks like petrified wood is actually an optical illusion created with meticulously rendered ceramic.

Yuko Nishikawa

She is a contemporary Japanese artist that is known for her surreal and imaginative works. She often explores dreamlike and fantastical themes. Her installations suggest interaction between the observer and the subject of the painting, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork on a personal level.

Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao

The multidisciplinary pair have backgrounds in drawing, painting and architecture, with their work "existing in a grey area between art and design, 2D and 3D, painting and sculpture". Together, their mutual understanding of products and colour collaboration has created an astonishing cascade of design.

"Suspended Confetti" - exhibition in Studio Chiaozza, pronounced “chow-zah,” is the artistic duo of Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao, founded in Brooklyn back in 2011.

I just got another one for my office. I can’t explain why I love these things so much, but I keep my other one by my bedside as a small object of joy to wake up and go to bed to.

Chiaozza Brings Colorful and Curious Structures to Coachella

To see more of Adam and Terri’s work, follow @chiaozza on Instagram.

For two weekends in April, the small desert oasis of Indio, California, is a destination for tens of thousands of @coachella attendees, who flock for music, food and art. Two of the featured artists this year are Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao, who make up the Brooklyn-based duo Chiaozza (@chiaozza). “Chiaozza Garden” is an entire acre of tall, bulbous, colorful structures — all of which have whimsical names like Giros, Dollop Sprouts, Twin Lumps and Exquisite Plants — that stand out even in the vastness of the festival grounds. “When we were designing this garden,” says Terri, “we thought a lot about the experience of the light in the desert — how it gets kind of bleached out during the day, but the colors start to really glow at dusk and sunrise.” Evolving from a sketch in their studio to 8-ton sculptures made from plywood, lathe, stucco and cement in the center of Coachella, the pair had a hand in every stage of the production process. “It’s the largest project we’ve ever done,” says Adam. “It’s so fun to see people engage with the work,” which includes dancing with some of the pieces’ rubber tassels and resting in the late afternoon shade the structures provide. “Over time, we want this work to continuously befuddle and offer a curious sense of imagination.”

Suspended Confetti

[hometoursandotherstuff]

The hot pink stair rail and cabbage rose wallpaper on the ceiling in the front hall are a dead giveaway that this is not a conventional Brooklyn Heights townhouse.

When they moved here, the couple brought their love of contemporary art with them. Quirky works of graphic design, sculpture, painting and collage, some bought at charity fundraisers, cover the walls and march up the stairwell.

“There are lots of holes in the walls. I’m always moving stuff around,” says the female half of the couple. “There’s a joy that comes from not worrying too much about it.”

Outrageous patterned wallpapers and statement light fixtures, including a pair of oversized Italian modern pendants that cast an ambient pink glow over the kitchen, keep the funhouse vibe going. 

Chuck Close’s larger-than-life sunflower (made with an overscale Polaroid camera) is a standout among floor-to-ceiling art in the dining room, furnished with a vintage Danish modern table and an antique workbench from Vermont.

A gnome stool also graces the dining room. 

Bat themed wallpaper cuts the sweetness of a 1950s pink bathroom.

“We couldn’t do half of what the house needed,” she recalls. “I love looking at people’s homes in magazines, but more often than not, they’re perfect and unreachable. Our house is a lot of imperfect…but it doesn’t have to be perfect to be home.”

The “YOU LOOK GREAT” decal on the mirror and wallpaper decorated with sand dollars, snails and other creatures, set off vintage mid-century bath fixtures.

It gets even wilder in the backyard, where a dozen large, gourd-like papier-mâché sculptures varnished for outdoor use, are studded about in lieu of (ho-hum) plants. “We’re not green thumbs,” she says.
