Johannes Bosisio and Emily Kraus at Indigo + Madder Gallery

Hello Next Up Collector Community!

I would love to highlight emerging artist Johannes Bosisio, currently showing at Indigo + Madder Gallery in the exhibition “My Mother was a Computer,” showing from October 10th - November 19th, 2022.

Johannes Bosisio

“Johannes Bosisio (b.1994 Cavalese, Italy) studied DIPLOMA Fine Art Painting at Weissensee School of Art Berlin (2014-19) and MA Fine Art Painting at the Royal College of Art and Design. (2020-22).” - RCA Website

In his personal statement, Bosisio states: “In my paintings I am trying to explore the relationships between mankind and machine and the transgressions of dualism such as the separation of: figure and ground, body and mind, material and Immaterial, organic and inorganic, animals and machines. I fuse binary forms in order to create hybrids. I work with carbody parts because I see the automobile as an allegory for the connections between mankind, technology, culture, politics and economics.” - RCA Website

Emily Kraus

“Emily Kraus (b. 1995, New York City) is an American artist living and working in London and co-founder of artist-led Sala Salon. She spent one year studying in India before obtaining her BA in Religious Studies from Kenyon College. Kraus has an extensive background in yoga and somatic practices. Following her BA, she worked at Factum Arte and Factum Foundation where she learned a range of skills from traditional craft to digital rendering. Her work has been exhibited internationally, most recently at Grove Collective in London.” -RCA Website

In her personal statement, Kraus states: “I work inside a metal cubic scaffold around which I stretch a canvas loop. It is a shelter, a constraint, a tabernacle and a boundary. The machine itself–rolling bars and canvas with no end–is a metaphor for the cyclical world. To create an organic image within a rigid system whose nature is to make repetitive marks that require listening, attention and choreography of movement.” - RCA Website
