From monumental paintings to works in period picture frames and in shadow boxes, the show continues down little hallways and around gallery corners manifesting paint globs, mixed media and intense cultural references. Staying Ahead of the Beast, often dirty feeling, even cage-like, reads out apprehensive identities. Bits of fabric, newspaper clippings, wads of mummified string, talismanic objects and gestural childlike forms weave out a narrative that conveys neither an aesthetic nor social utopia.
