Unquiet Form

Unquiet Form

The Compound Gallery is pleased to present Unquiet Form featuring work by Ghost Ghost Teeth.  Ghost Ghost Teeth’s latest work evolved out of spontaneously reworking the surface of his paintings. These new layered compositions are captivating and involved.  Ghost Ghost Teeth draws inspiration from Saturday morning cartoons and anime, while his compositions often feature nostalgic color palettes and reference level designs from various video games. GGT’s work is chaotic, yet calm, as detailed line work forms layers that often give way to colorful areas of disorder 

Unquiet Form also features a site specific installation of wood structures and paintings. These structures mimic the reconfiguration of subject matter, color, and play found in GGT’s paintings. Visitors can experience the installation and paintings as a structure comprised of numerous ideas and imagery, as there is no singular interpretation that emerges from the works—something GGT wants to leave up to the viewer. GGT is a first generation Vietnamese American who incorporates his parent’s culture into his own work alongside his own experience in America.  Much of his new works draw on the current confusing and disorientating American political and cultural climate, resulting in playful yet contemplative works with no direct symbols or signage.
