Redfearn and The Eyesores have been surprising audiences with their hypnotic, gently explosive rock music for more than a decade. Never one to follow trends, Redfearn’s kaleidoscopic visions, anchored by his extraordinary accordion work and sonorous vocals, exist on the fringes of pop music, songs that are as familiar and individual as snowflakes or fingerprints. While his deep knowledge of folk, classical and world music allows him to slip effortlessly from genre to genre, more often, he creates pieces that subvert established forms to produce work of startling originality.

  • "SUMMER of LOVE"Artus , Issue 21 December-January, 2008 Pp. 54-55
    "SUMMER OF LOVE" artUS , issue 21 December-January, 2008 pp. 54-55. Whitney Museum of American Art May 24 -September 16, 2007 When I last reviewed in these pages CMA's "Optic Nerve," which revisits MoMA's 1965 "The Responsive Eye," it occurred to me just how much we tend to forget that all the while a revolutionary utopian spirit in art was afire on a global scale, the war in Vietnam was raging. While I was specifically addressing the vigor of Op art, as compared to its docile successors (minimalism and pop art), "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" sheds light on the real revolution underfoot, making Op art's replacements all the more out of place. Focused on countercultural happenings in London, New York, and San Francisco from 1965-1970, "Summer of Love" elucidates psychedelia's broad impact on painting, graphic design, immersive environments, alternative media, and architectural possibilities. A 1966 Life magazine article on "Psychedelic Art" described its adherents as wanting "to expand consciousness by bombarding the senses." Exuberant, ornamental, and excessively detailed, psychedelic art played the psychological counterpoint to seemingly systematic, geometric Op art's experiential aspirations. As this exhibition demonstrates, that era's artists were involved in all aspects of this countercultural revolution, yet art history still neglects its influential role, its momentum interrupted by the shocking deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and four Kent State University students, as well as the burgeoning conceptual art movement, galvanized by Kynaston McShine's "Information" at MoMA (all 1970), followed by the military's departure from Vietnam three years later.
