NEW YORK, NY: Jonathan LeVine Gallery is pleased to present “Proof Denies Faith” a two-person exhibition featuring new work by AJ Fosik and Daniel Peacock. The exhibitions will be on view from July 16th until August 13th. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, July 16th from 6-9pm. All of the artists will be here to celebrate.

Detroit native AJ Fosik and California-based Dan Peacock will present their folk art and cartoon inspired sculptures and paintings in “Proof Denies Faith”. The exhibition will be on view in Gallery II until August 13th.

AJ Fosik is originally from Detroit, now living in California. He combines images and iconography carefully collected and scavenged from past traditions both real and fabricated which are interpreted and woven together to create a trenchant body of work that is equal parts signage, folly and hard luck story. For “Proof Denies Faith”, AJ has created intricately crafted tiger-warriors, wooden shingled bear heads and other folk inspired creatures.

Daniel Peacock was born in Orange County, California and is a graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Daniel started doodling at age six and drawing new characters. His drawing influences range from 1930’s animation, marimba music, Neo Rausch, Ub Iwerks and a good cup of green tea. Daniel just finished working with Public Radio Station KCRW, where he illustrated their CD, poster and movie trailer for “Sounds Eclectic 3.” His work has been included in recent exhibitions at Mendenhall-Sobieski Gallery in Pasadena, La Luz De Jesus in Los Angeles, and BGH Gallery in Santa Monica.
