MELT | July 19 - August 23, 2019

MELT is a group exhibition exploring a dialogue between artists pushing figuration to its melting point, both formally and conceptually. Using paint, graphite, and photography, these artists present the body as malleable; a tool in which to evoke tenderness, humor, unease, and an inherent humanity.

Figurative art alert! Come see my paintings along with the works of Oda Jaune, Brice Chatenoud, Justin Liam O’Brien, and Adam Putnam, opening Friday at Chart Gallery in Tribeca, 74 Franklin St.
