Ambreen Butt "Dirty Pretty"
Kustera Projects Red Hook
This event has ended.
"Dirty Pretty" is an exhibition of a new series of paintings and prints by Pakistani-born artist Ambreen Butt in her second solo show at the gallery. Educated in the precise technique, saturated colors, and storytelling tradition of Mughal era (1526–1857) miniature painting, she combines that style with a modern sensibility to convey the terrible effects of tumultuous current events. Haunting female figures appear in every beautifully detailed work, seducing viewers with decorative and figurative imagery into examining the scenes more closely.
