\"\"<\/a>
\nyeah, there are actually 2 (bad) girls here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand yeah, all the paintings are pretty explicit. and yes, this bad girl – wild child has a bouquet of flowers up her butt – does that make her a good girl ? it’s all rather lyrical, as opposed to hard core nasty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe 2 profiled twins, looking to be naughty boys – have the most sinister, eerie touch in the show.
\nthe new work benefits from – a whiff of stylistic dialog with KARA WALKER.
\n . . . . as well as with a nod to the hard plastics – within the never sentimental – often grotesque, also over-the-top realm of JOHN CURRIN.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nbut the specific narrative here is with the Irish ? well. some kind of ancestral folklore. this little leprechaun, is straight out of Lord of the Rings. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand yes, there’s another little man, from olden times, up on the cliff – looking guard out over the scene – in the other direction . . . towards the village landscape. a number of the paintings in the show – have this tension between past and present. the buttoned up Puritan Pilgrim ancestors – and what we have evolved to as a culture – in a couple of short centuries. (see that top header image, again).
\nthat’s freedom for ya. we’ve come along way. don’t knock it. but perhaps – be wary.
\nof all the fun & games. that sweet spot – can be just on the edge – of too soft. culturally.
\nand, maybe still too outrageous, too-in-your face for some. Hallmark cards gone fuzzy hard-core . . . there-in lies the power.
\npainting-wise . . . it’s right on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\ndetail, LISA YUSKAVAGE, ‘Triptych’, 2011, oil on linen, Triptych. each 77-1\/4 x 70-1\/8 x 1-1\/2 in.
\nand often luminous.<\/p>\n
