Greg Parma Smith - Life Drawings, Poseurs, and “thirteen oil paintings on canvas” - Balice Hertling & Lewis - NYC


through February 25th 2012

These paintings are concerned with two ‘figurative’ subcultures: academic figure painting and diaristic zine comics. Both fixate on the human body: for the former, it is a naturalized humanist subject, physically self-evident; for the latter, an avatar within a real-life narrative that offers the stylized self as DIY product. The paintings depict, literally, nude art workers and artist-protagonists.
