Contemporary Art: Anne Samat @ Marc Straus Gallery New York

 


(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of discoveries. While walking on Manhattan´s Grand Street I passed Marc Straus Gallery, which had 2 interesting exhibitions (marcstraus ). I already posted about the funny images by Paul Pretzer ( driveby). This post focuses on works by Anne Samat (b. 1973, Malaysia).

 

 


according to the press release the artist "
employs the South East Asian art of Pua Kumbu weaving, which she formally studied. She adds humble household goods from 99 cent stores to construct totemic wall sculptures."

 

On top of this post you can see "Eyes Are Like Angels But Heart is Cold #1" (2021,
