Frohawk Two Feathers review in Los Angeles Times

March 1st, 2008

Los Angeles Times

AROUND THE GALLERIES
by Holly Myers
A chapter from colonial times

“In the Court of the Crimson King” is Frohawk Two Feathers‘ second solo show at Taylor de Cordoba and the second chapter of an epic saga whose details are difficult to keep straight. They’re scrawled on a long, scroll-like sheet posted to a gallery wall for those who want to give it a try. But the themes are all too familiar: power, war, colonialism, imperialism and the lure of global trade.

The hero is one Nancy of Gonaives, heir to the fictional kingdom of Frengland, who has embarked on a mission to avenge his father’s death and reclaim the throne from his villainous uncle, Lord William (a.k.a. King Billy). Haiti figures in the story in some way, as do the sugar trade, the Inuit people, a pope and a certain pink sperm whale, hunted with Ahab-like obsession by the ill-fated King L’Oreal.

The bulk of the story is told through drawings and paintings that mimic the conventions of colonial-era genres — particularly portraiture — while remaining wonderfully fresh and strange. The project is a peculiar one that manages to balance a number of unlikely qualities — lighthearted and earnest, endearing and unsettling, humorous and scathingly critical.

Two Feathers, who goes by a number of different pseudonyms, seems to have a lot going on: He has several musical projects underway and will perform at the gallery Saturday as Kent Cyclone. The full scope may take some time to unfold, but the promise is striking.

FROHAWK TWO FEATHERS: In the Court of the Crimson King

February 8th, 2008

Frohawk Two Feathers: In the Court of the Crimson King

February 2 – March 8, 2008

Taylor De Cordoba is pleased to present In The Court Of The Crimson King, a new series of paintings and drawings by Los Angeles-based artist Frohawk Two Feathers. The exhibition will run from February 2 through March 8, 2008. The gallery will host an opening reception for the artist on Saturday February 2 from 6-9pm. Violinist Shigeru will perform 19th century sonatas during the reception. This is the artist’s second solo show with the gallery.

Two Feathers continues to demonstrate his skills as a master storyteller with a modern take on the age-old themes of colonialism, imperialism and conquest. In these large-scale paintings and intimate works on paper, he creates a wartime narrative starring an imagined cast of characters. Two Feathers revisits the Frenglish Emperor Nancy in his quest to avenge his father’s death. As the villain, Lord William uses his influence as a nobleman and general of the Imperial Frenglish Army to stage a coup and overthrow Nancy and his mother. He proceeds to partition the empire and rename the areas loyal to him and his confederates, Anglica. This series chronicles William’s brief rule and the beginning of the re-conquest of Frengland by Nancy and his old enemies (now allies), the Inuit. Two Feather’s reappropriation of classical tenets of history and storytelling makes for a sometimes amusing and always poignant body of work. All artworks are loosely based on the lyrics of the song “In The Court Of The Crimson King” (written by Peter Sinfield) by the psych rock group King Crimson.
