Delfin is a multi-media artist who does not claim to be a photographer. Yet she masterfully uses photographic imagery in these compositions in the same way the Dalí used his pho - torealistic drafting talent in his paintings—to further her thematic ends. Her lighting preferences have been compared to those of Caravaggio, since, like him, she uses saturated colors and extreme contrast between light and dark. Compositionally and the - matically she displays even more similarities to Dalí (whom she venerates), namely, her use of distorted or exaggerated perspective, added symbolic ob - jects often floating through the air, and hyper-realis - tic figures and settings . Like Dalí, her imagery is often highly personal, re - maining enigmatic to the viewer, while the overall im - pression of the images is intriguing, even disturbing. And she includes some symbols from English surreal - ist Francis Bacon's playbook. The show is dedicated to her (former) mentor, Chuck Close, whose image appears in several of the works. Delfin’s signature image-object is herself: nude, often heavily made-up, usually present in multiple iterations, involved in some intimate or abusive activity, and looking at the viewer with a range of expressions, from reproach to blank - ness or submission. The sets are ornate, and heavily symbolic images abound: butterflies, birds, balloons, and stuffed animals—and some, such a toy soldiers, recur, offering clues to Delfin’s thematic obsessions . For example the work depicting sex between two reclining versions of herself in the right foreground, with a standing, partially obscured Hugo Chavez in the middle ground, and a scribbled over “Viva la Revolucion” graffiti in the background, clearly has political meaning. Yet its title is Heart-Shaped Bubble Balloons , which happen to be floating through the picture. If we put it all together, she seems to be saying that the Revolution (Chavez’s that is) either emits false love (the hearts are only bubbles), or is the subject of it, or both. Some - one is getting “fucked”—the sex is not about love, especially since the lower figure leans against bloody carcasses, à la Bacon, and there’s a pair Dinorah Delfin Anchor in the Chest , 2010.

Our founders had a vision: an organization that would focus on preservation and have technical skills that could actually help people fix their buildings.

    CLAMPART ! ❚ " FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MERYL MEISLER NEW YORK PARADISE LOST BUSHWICK ERA DISCO June 3 – July 9, 2021 Artist’s reception: Saturday, June 5, 2021 2:00 - 7:00 p.m. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ClampArt is pleased to announce “Meryl Meisler | New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco”—the artist’s first solo show with the gallery. The exhibition coincides with the release of the artist’s monograph of the same title from Parallel Pictures Press (Hardcover, 272 pages, 130 duotones, 132 color photos, $48). A complimentary show of related works will be mounted at The Center for Photography at Woodstock from July 3 – August 15, 2021. Meryl Meisler’s series “New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco” is an intimate journey through the pandemonium and ecstasy of New York City from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Meisler documents a tumultuous time in the city’s history marred by epidemics of crime, addiction, and AIDS, intensified by a paralyzing blackout and political and fiscal crises. Frequenting Manhattan’s legendary discos that arose from the disorder, she captured hedonistic havens patronized by celebrities and revelers of the night. In contrast, daylight revealed the beauty of those who loved and thrived in burnt-out Bushwick, where Meisler worked as a public school art teacher and continuously documented her surroundings. 247 West 29th Street Ground Floor New York, NY 10001 tel 646.230.0020 e-mail [email protected] web www.clampart.com page two Meisler’s effervescent photographs are a personal memoir—love letters filled with compassion, humor, and angst as well—kept secret for decades until she retired from teaching.
