"Sasnak" Review from ArtsCriticAtl

There were never two artists better matched than the psychedelic, suppurating, spewing, head-tripping duo of Atlanta-based Alex Kvares and Nashville-based Mark Hosford, whose work is on view at Beep Beep Gallery through May 28. The artists met in high school in Kansas — the inspiration for the show’s title, “Sasnak” — attended university together and undoubtedly will meet in that great heavy-metal parking lot in the sky.

Together they could start a movement: call it Art Nouveau Psychedelic. There is something both decadent and raunchy in their work (the pair never met a bodily orifice they couldn’t fill with something vile), and exceedingly decorative — if decorative is extended to include garlands of innards, lengths of spinal columns and skulls arranged in mounds.

On Saturday, Beep Beep Gallery will exhibit Sasnak, new and collaborative work from Alex Kvares and Mark Hosford. The Ukrainian-born, Atlanta-based Kvares has been showing regularly at Beep Beep for years now, rightfully earning local admiration for the hallucinogenic, hatch-mark pointillism of his drawings. The Nashville-based Hosford is an assistant professor of art at Vanderbilt University.

Earlier this week, CL asked them to answer a few questions about the work and that sprawled into lengthy discussion that touches on Marxism, Rorschachs, Kansas, and "Vikings with swords and shit like that." Check out the conversation and a few images from the show after the jump.
