NEW YORK, NY
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMPLEX
Curated by Luis Cano and Asher Koondel, the exhibition brings together the two visual artists to examine repetition as both a formal and cultural strategy, exploring how recurring imagery builds lasting recognition.
In Echo Chamber, Rexeisen and Hermes share a common factor across their works: repetition of found figures, faces, and scenes that evolve into visual forms. However, they dramatically emphasize how these motifs repeat, accumulate, and build off one another. Across the diptychs on view, each composition holds its form while introducing subtle visual variations.
Hermes, known for his works featuring nostalgic imagery of characters paired with satirical phrases, brings a series that revisits motifs from his earlier practice. Alongside him, Rexeisen pulls together his signature female figures and reconstructs their faces through his color palette. Together, both artists assert a recognizable aesthetic language, demonstrating how recurring motifs can evolve while remaining deeply connected to their respective practices.
Within the gallery, each work is accompanied by a companion piece of identical dimensions, replicated but altered. The pairing acts as a metaphor for how these artists have developed their identities through recognizable symbols that recur across their bodies of work. At the end of the gallery hangs a single collaborative painting done by both artists, disrupting the even quantity and uniformity of the diptychs. This layout turns the space into a literal echo chamber, where the works on either side slowly fade out into one piece, just as an echo does, growing softer, until it disappears into silence.
