This February Corey Helford Gallery is pleased to present “You Are Not Falling, You Are Floating” featuring
new works by New York artist David Hochbaum. For his second solo exhibition at the gallery, Hochbaum
creates a total environment through a stunning mixed media display of paintings, photography, sculptures and
an installation. |
“You Are Not Falling, You Are Floating” is an immersion into the surreal state of consciousness between
being awake and asleep and the secrets about ourselves, which are revealed in our dreams. Hochbaum explains, “ In dreams, all the secrets are revealed, truths are unveiled, not just the things which we mask in order
to present ourselves as functioning, moral human beings amongst each other, but the building blocks which
shape our character and desires. We gather these components of dreams from each other. It is a collaboration
of human interaction. Our dreams are our collective voices, the voice of the universe.”
Historically, angels and demons have symbolized fears, passions, truths and desires in dreams. However, in
his new collection of works, Hochbaum uses black dots hovering like satellites or symbiotic companions as
well as handwritten text to represent these secrets of the subconscious. Through a large-scale series of fl oating,
tumbling and cascading figures and sculptural works of towers, birds and spheres, “You Are Not Falling,
You Are Floating” captures this alternate reality. Hochbaum’s photo constructions take a more raw direction,
combining untouched photo imagery with painted narratives.
