| Satre Stuelke (Gallery Two) |
|  |
Satre Stuelke has created/discovered a labyrinth of Pleasant Efficacy, accessible through a rabbit-hole of hi-gloss, kandy-kolor, complex curves. The mysteries (that go here by the name "function") connect in ways we do not fully understand: a sub-surface Talmud of longing, hygiene and upward mobility presided over by the vanished Cheshire-smile of Bob Dobbs and bespoken in deep electronic tones.
Plainly speaking, Stuelke invents fictional household appliances. They all are meant to improve one's outlook on life in general, or on one's self. First, he uses a 3D computer-aided design program simulating rich, lush paints and highly-polished metals. He then prints out their portraits on canvas, varnishes them, and frames them in very gaudy gold frames. Finally, he builds them out of fiberglass and resin, paints them with many coats of automotive paint, fits them with highly polished metal parts, and installs interactive electronics of his own design.
