Electric Coffin Presents Don’t Feed The Bears
Friday Jun. 21st, 2024
You will never see Yellowstone Park In The Same Way
Visions West Contemporary is pleased to present Don’t Feed The Bears, a solo exhibition by Seattle-based Electric Coffin this coming June. Electric Coffin, composed of the artist duo Duffy DeArmas and Stefan Hofmann, operates at the nexus of art and industry. Their multimedia creations serve as subtle reflections on the shifting landscapes of both the natural and commercial realms. The forthcoming exhibition will be centered around the cultural impact and wildlife of our neighbor, Yellowstone National Park, highlighting a host of local animals from the elusive gray wolf to roaming bison. The show further emphasizes Electric Coffin's dedication to exploring the interplay between humanity and the natural world.
Electric Coffin delves into socio-economic and environmental issues, Electric Coffin also seek to reestablish a spiritual bond with nature and elevate the “low brow” to the realm of fine art, populating their resplendent world with characters and reimagined commercial slogans that depict our contemporary interconnectedness and consciousness in equal measure.
Electric Coffin is a Seattle-based artist collaboration between Duffy De Armas and Stefan Hofmann. Electric Coffin have exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, including a large multi-media installation at the Museum of Museums, Seattle and exhibitions at Bellevue Art Museum, Bellevue WA; Wynwood Walls, Miami FL; Scope Art Fair, Miami; and Dong Gallery, Taipei. Their work is in the private collection of the Ren Building in Seattle and they have commissioned installs for Facebook, Expedia, T-Mobile, among many others.
