Dana Schutz
Posted by Fabio 2 December 2013
First UK solo exhibition of Dana Schutz, one of the most significant young contemporary artists in America. Renowned for her characteristically vibrantly coloured figurative paintings and tactile brushwork, Schutz creates imaginary worlds to explore hypothetical and absurd situations. Applying her often dark and deadpan humour, Schutz explores the peculiarity of the human condition, describing scenes of hopelessness, loss of control, anti-social activity, human capability and incapability through her distinctive and vibrant brushwork.
Dana Schutz exhibition runs until 26th January 2014 at Hepworth Wakefield.
