The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to announce their participation in VOLTA Art Fair in New York City, September 4–8, 2024. Making this their second VOLTA fair of the year, The CAMP Gallery is prepared and excited to welcome new collectors and familiar faces to Stand 35 at the fair with artists Seth Ellison, Michael Sylvan Robinson, Joanna Ambroz, Hermes Berrio, Michael Sylvan Robinson, and Magdalena Zych.

The artists in this show all carry their works in a version of realism; not in the traditional sense of style yet in a motif in the abstraction of their representational works. They speak on a realism in life, using the ridiculousness of the mundane, form, mysticism and the surreal to portray complexities and understanding of ones’ self and the world around them.

The underlying nature that the world through our eyes and mind in a present moment can be a spectacular dive into the changing psyche of each individual is felt through each piece. Joanna Ambroz’s bicolor self portraits bring forth the emotions of tension and harmony as two sides of the same coin. Hermes Berrio’s approach to the mundane aspects of life, highlighting them as you would royalty. Seth Ellison’s surreal representations tell a tale of a culture of meritocracy that institutes a predominant sense of failure simultaneously as a facade of success. Michael Sylvan Robinson approaches a level of mysticism in their works that embody a struggle of gender and queerness still not accepted in a modern society. Magdalena Zych fills her pieces with the viscerality of nature’s forms, both magnificent and grotesque in their sensual appearance, seeking the true future of a coexistence.
