Colin Burns

137 Rivington  presents EUPHORIC RECALL our first show with Los Angeles-based artist Colin Burns.

This exhibition contains work from the past two years with a few older, relevant pieces sprinkled in. Burns utilizes printmaking, drawing, painting, sculptural elements, text and installation to reference his fascination with film noir, science fiction, the occult, and new age and cultish language.

Euphoric recall is a cognitive bias that describes the tendency of people to remember past experience in a positive light, while overlooking negative experiences associated with some events. There is an element of wistful melancholy and nostalgia - as well as humor - throughout his work.
