Artists Frank Dorrey and Brayan Ramales tell us how they patched together memories on their iPhones for their dual exhibition at WHAAM!
, who filled the compact gallery with airbrushed paintings, digital collages, and unsent love letters for their dual exhibition. And while the two artists may work in entirely different modes, there’s a strange, moving coherence to the chaos. “
RAMALES: I feel like with this show, I was a lot more zoned into a theme, which is not usually how I make work. But for every piece, I was trying to access a memory. All the love letters in the show are directly related to things in my life or a close person’s life. I would sit and journal about it like, “What is the essence of this memory and how can I access or even let go of it through this?” I wasn’t thinking of a viewer, it was an emotional exercise.
RAMALES: Yeah, I use a mask now because one time I had to do it for this music set and I literally felt the paint clogging my lungs. I was like, “What the fuck? This is crazy.” DORREY: I make them on my phone on an app called PicsArt. It’s like Photoshop. I piece photos and drawings that I do together and layer them on top of each other and do some stretching and morphing and color shifting. It’s basically a collage of different skills I’ve learned over the years.
RIBEIRO: Sometimes it’s about a vibe. Maybe explaining it too much makes it lose some of that. You guys have carved out a world in such a small space, which is really cool.
