Jim Nutt
Jim Nutt produces paintings and drawings that simultaneously reference old master works, naïve art, Surrealism, and comic book illustration. Subtle nostalgia and a current of anxiety run through his intimate and richly rendered portraits of imaginary women.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
