Electric Coffin “Black Magic” reverse printed and painted glass in custom frame
For September we are thrilled to offer a show of new paintings on glass by Seattle's Electric Coffin. Comprised of the artist duo of Duffy DeArmas and Stefan Hofmann, Electric Coffin create multi-media works that comment of the socio-economic and environmental concerns as well as reclaiming a sense of spirituality and connection with nature in the Anthropocene era.
This show will focus on their trademark "Unio" characters. These are animals that represent not just the natural world or environmental forces, but also spiritual drives or progressive aspects that drive humans such as progress, the desire for expansion, and exploration. These animal symbols all carry a machine of some type of their back, bound to technology and relentless human ambition that can be used for positive or negative purposes. Electric Coffin's work seeks to create a dialog and attempt at understanding all these forces in order to meaningfully start to build a better world.
The show will feature various Unio characters reverse painted (screen printed, hand painted, gold leafed) on glass and framed in custom screen printed frames featuring EC's "lowbrow logo" design elements. This show will feature more accessible pricing and sizing that the usual epic pieces EC create, so it's a great entry point for collectors interested in EC but who might now have space for EC's usual large scale multi-media works.
