|
4/14/06: Headache Review By David Downs,
East Bay Express
"The most creepy gallery show this year goes to the Boontlingers on Telegraph Avenue for this collection of
mounted mutant ceramic and mixed-media heads that beg for mercy from a cruel world. Lucien Shapiro uses doll
eyes, teeth and tongues, tentacles, cow skeletons, moss, clay, and deer horns to create 21 menacing wall
sculptures. These haunting pieces range from one foot in diameter to pin-sized and make all manner of faces
including the grimace, the shout, the sneer, and the laugh. John Casey complements Shapiro with "50 Dark Thoughts"
using a decapitated ceramic figure mounted below fifty fist-sized brown skulls baked into mean little sneers
dotted with pin-hole eyes, robot eyes, or no eyes at all. Creep factor or not, more than a half dozen of these
$100 pieces sold on opening night."

3/15/05: Various Press descriptions of the Unusual Suspects show...
SF Station: Art Scene, March 11th - 24th by Melissa Lane
Oakland artist John Casey delves deep into the demon-ruled zones of his psyche and
reports back to us in sculpture and pen-and-ink drawings. Unusual Suspects comprises
a host of deformed, sad little creatures. Casey explains that, "They struggle with
their ugliness and debilitation but are also somewhat at peace with it... The result
may evoke a burst of laughter or yelp of fright."...

East Bay Express: This Week's Day-by-Day Picks by Stephanie Kalem
Saturday, 3/19 - Today is your last chance to see John Casey's first solo show of mixed-media sculptures
and pen-and-ink drawings. For Unusual Suspects, Casey has loaned his demons to the
Cricket Engine Studio and Gallery, and man, are they cute in a grotesque kind of
way. The Oakland-by-way-of-New England rez creates detailed drawings and glossy,
small-scale sculptures of clownish monstrosities that somehow despite their gimp
masks, vestigial horns, feet for bodies, boxing gloves for legs, sphincter-lipped
mouths, and incorrectly hairy parts -- seem to beg for your love.
