Robb Kramer is an Abstract Expressionist painter and figurative sculptor who has spent over 30 years pushing the boundaries of fine art. For Kramer, painting is a portal into another world—one that invites the viewer into a dreamlike, almost psychedelic journey. Shaped by a lifelong connection to the bold, gestural language of abstract expressionism, his process is built on layering, subtracting, and painting back in, following self-imposed rules that remove narrative and allow for greater freedom. Working in a heightened, intuitive state, he creates paintings that feel like a visual journal of transformation, texture, emotion, and spontaneity. By removing narrative from the process, his paintings open space for freedom, texture, and an immersive visual experience. He also played a pivotal role in Coraline as lead sculptor and set designer on the Oscar-nominated stop-motion film.

"Regenerated" presents ten years of work by artist Seungjin Lee created in New York City. Through painting, drawing, and performance, Lee explores how digital technology shapes everyday life and quietly changes the way we think, feel, and exist.
From AI-generated images to endless social media feeds and the strange beauty of broken screens, his work reflects both a deep love for digital culture and an unspoken anxiety toward it.
At its core, Regenerated is a reflection on the relationship between human identity and a world that is constantly being rewritten by technology.

Sound performance by Brandon English

Benjamin Kendall is a poet and noise maker from Atlanta, Georgia living in Brooklyn, New York. Concerned with the reconnecting, rediscovery, and the reclaiming of stolen space, time, and histories; his work is there to resist with a radical responsibility and reevaluation of how history is remembered as an artist making sound, disruptions, situations of seeing, and language.

Brandon English is an interdisciplinary visual artist interested in counter-surveillance archival practices and how they intersect with vestiges of vernacular image making, tool making and democratized imaging technologies (cellphones, dslrs, surveillance cams etc.). Additionally his work broaches the various lineages of African American object performance by way of instrument building and sound performances.

James Hopper is a painter working with portraiture and landscape to address questions of other/kinship, the radical extension of empathy, and how representation can interrogate the fundamental assumptions that shape our world.

Exhibition: A Different State

Opening Reception: Friday 4/3 6-9pm (Performance at 8pm by Brandon E)

Address: 43 Porter Ave, Brooklyn, 11237
*Free admission

A Different State is a group exhibition by visual artists Benjamin Kendall, Brandon English, and James Hopper. Assemblage, sculpture, painting and performance are presented as a collective confrontation.

These offerings, improvisations, and responses to defined territories are used as tools for turning the gallery into a space of reciprocal activation.
Individual art practices mediate our collective experience while audience interactions complete the work.
Recreating memory through what is present, possible, or absent; A Different State recognises then reevaluates nuances of erasure, transformation, existence, and resistance. The artists question empire,
influence, authority, territorial reclamation, and their own positions in time. A Different State is both a cause and consequence that challenges viewers'beliefs of fundamental freedoms through remediated shifts in our
awareness and becoming.
