  • Beautiful Beast
    NEW YORK ACADEMY OF ART PRESENTS BEAUTIFUL BEAST January 27 – March 8, 2015 Opening Reception: Tuesday, January 27 from 6:00 to 8:00pm New York, NY, November 20, 2014 – The New York Academy of Art is pleased to announce “Beautiful Beast,” a group exhibition of 16 acclaimed sculptors. This dynamic and interdisciplinary show explores the relationship between beauty and abjection through the lens of the grotesque with works by Barry X Ball, Monica Cook, Gehard Demetz, Lesley Dill, Richard Dupont, Eric Fischl, Judy Fox, Folkert de Jong, Elizabeth King, Mark Mennin, Evan Penny, Patricia Piccinini, Rona Pondick, Jeanne Silverthorne, Kiki Smith and Robert Taplin. Opening with a reception on Tuesday, January 27 from 6 to 8pm, the exhibition will remain on view through March 8 at New York Academy of Art, 111 Franklin Street in Tribeca. Connected by their use of distortion to create fearless depictions of humanity, the work of “Beautiful Beast” runs the gamut of human emotion, often teetering towards the uncanny. Highlighting a wide range of work made over the past 20 years, the exhibition encompasses a variety of materials including foam, wood, steel and digital projections. In her new work created for “Beautiful Beast,” Monica Cook fabricates distorted figures out of disposable, but still haunting materials while Mark Mennin debuts a human-chicken hybrid out of flesh-colored Portuguese marble. This paradox using finely crafted materials and debased materials to address horrific imagery is further echoed throughout the exhibition. Ball X Ball’s work uses Mexican onyx to create corroded images of Renaissance masterpieces. Gehard Demetz’s finely crafted wooden sculptures present isolated figures whose desperation is implied through the use of empty drawers.
