Contemporary Art: Oral Fixation @ The Hole New York

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Some galleries have funny names. "The Hole" on Manhattan`s popular entertainment mile Bowery (312 Bowery, New York  theholenyc) seems to specialize in experimental art. They have frequently interesting shows (I have reported about this gallery before  here  here).

Recently I saw a group exhibition of big women, named "Extra" (theholenyc). The show is also about oral fixation as many of the images show. There is certainly a causal relationship.

I display here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual. Above you can see Jansson Stegner`s "Breakfast on the Road" (2017, oil on canvas) followed by Eric Yahnker`s "Triple Dee" (2018, pastel on sandpaper).

Above "Society Woman" (2003, oil on canvas) by the Colombian painter Fernando Botero.

Above 2 images by Monica Kim Garza: "Drama y Luz / When Doves Cry" (2018, foam paper, acrylic, oil pastel on canvas) & "Back to Back" (2018, acrylic, rhinestones, and wool on canvas) followed by Rebecca Morgan`s "Self Portrait Post MFA Wearing the Smock of a Former Employer II" (2017, digital print on linen) & Taylor McKimens` "Getting Far" (2018, acrylic, flashe, acrylic-gouche, crayon, and paper on canvas).

Above Francine Spiegel`s "Untitled" (2018, acrylic and airbrush on canvas) followed by Cristina Banban`s "Sunset con las chicas" (2018, acrylic and spray paint on canvas) & Jonathan Chapline`s "Virtual Character (Woman III)2 (2018, acrylic and flashe on panel).
