Hera "Therapy Dropout" exhibit
Hera _ Therapy Dropout exhibit
Hera (Frankfurt, Germany) has an amazing exhibit up at Fifty24 in San Francisco through July. She and Akut are usually known for their collaborative works (aka HERAKUT). Hera's work is more graffiti/street art based whereas Akut is more smooth and realistic which makes for very intriguing qualities to their collabo pieces. Thereapy Dropout is Hera's first solo endeavor - an impressive debut.
"If you paint what you feel, you drag it out of yourself and put it in front of you, where you can see it and deal with it. Once that's done you can turn your back on it and leave it behind. Others will eventually paint over it, but that doesn't matter, because you had never planned on keeping it anyway. You're moving on. That's it," states Hera of the meaning behind her Therapy Dropout exhibit.
There are photos here.
