| Venus 1
1996
Acrylic on Canvas
Peter Schjeldahl, art critic from the Village Voice writes
about this painting,
'...Venus I thematizes problems
of ideal beauty with visions of white and black womanflesh and
painter's equipment cascading against a starry sky. The black
females are stereotypically gross, and a lumpy white babe has
nothing to recommend her except pinkness and blondness. But the
payoff is not thematic. It's the disappearance of thought in
sheerly looking, as gorgeous paint on canvas, slurring through
a half-dozen demi-styles, pounds all possible ideals down into
sensual pulp.' |
