Robert Melee "Unshamelessfulnessly"
Andrew Kreps Gallery
This event has ended.
Robert Melee's Unshamelessfulnessly is the artist's fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. For this exhibition, Melee uses multimedia practices to build upon his work based on the suburban home by incorporating household appliances, craft, kitsch, and modern and classical art references- yielding a room full of objects, that are simultaneously psychological and nostalgic; beautiful, and abused.
Works featured in the show include painting and sculpture, often combining the two in a seamlessly bizarre conflation. While the works visually evoke themes of the grotesque, they simultaneously reference classical sculpture as well as modern painting.
