Contemporary Art: Jenna Gribbon`s Funny Wrestling Scenes @ Fredericks & Freiser

 (Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is often humorous. Gallery Fredericks & Freiser in Manhattan`s Chelsea district shows a collection of funny paintings by Jenna Gribbon (through November 2, 2019 fredericksfreiser ). I especially like the comical wrestling scenes. The press release claims that "Gribbon’s wrestling series takes on the art-historical trope of grappling figures, extending from the bulging Greek athletes in Archaic friezes to the lean youths of Thomas Eakins’s canvases".


Anyway, the images are colorful, fresh & amusing.

I wish I could have joined

I also like the expressionist & powerful brush strokes.
