Idiosyncratic Iconoclasts: works by Richard Cleaver and Cindy Cheng | Opening Reception
Connect + Collect Gallery
2519 North Charles Street
Baltimore, MD
Join us on Thursday, February 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the BmoreArt Connect+Collect Gallery for the opening of Idiosyncratic Iconoclasts, featuring works by Richard Cleaver and Cindy Cheng.
This show brings together Richard Cleaver and Cindy Cheng, two artists who share a wild imagination and a remarkable attention to detail. Both artists explore a precarious line between the sacred and the profane, subverting the visual language of sanctified relics and precious gems, in order to conjure up bizarre and beautiful planes of reality.
Cleaver’s jewel encrusted ceramic sculptures and paintings function like tiny worlds: full of intricate detail, hidden elements, and allegorical human figures. Cheng’s work, encompassing sculpture and wearable art, carries a profound curiosity and playful challenges to the status quo through ceramics, metal, gemstones, and experimental materials.
