Portraying the moments of tortured souls and lost characteristics – the Poor Traits show is about losing it. Gerben Mulder (Amsterdam, 1972) and Stephen j Shanabrook’s (Cleveland, 1965) works are reflections of a time of decay and existential doubt, dark moments of self-destruction. Theirs is a shattering world that is devolving in front of viewer’s eyes.

(Both artists have been friends for over 20 years and work in adjacent studios in Brooklyn NY)
