The exhibition “Atomic Banana: Emotion and Heirospliffics” (October 20th- December 1st, 2018) is the artist Gerry Mak’s exploration of symbols, the emotion of art practice, and the age of information overload. During the course of his life, Mak remembers watching the Challenger explosion, Tiananmen Square, the LA riots, and countless other global spectacles live on TV. The curator and artist wants the audience to understand how a human’s visual lexicon connects us with one another. He  uses realism and abstraction in his work to  conjure the symbols of industry, fame, emotion, and chaos at varying scales.
