Scott Anderson "Join or Die"
57 STUX + HALLER Gallery
This event has ended.
STUX Gallery presents Chicago based artist Scott Anderson in his first New York solo exhibition Join or Die. This exhibit is done in cooperation with Kavi Gupta Gallery Chicago/Berlin and is accompanied by a catalogue. In his new series of paintings, Anderson continues with his preoccupation with the theme of “Hero Worship” and its associated imagery with visions of post-apocalyptic meltdown and crumbling utopias.
In his work, Anderson frequently uses narrative qualities and compositions, which reference religious painting and/or classic pastoral landscapes lending them a twist of certain prophetic wisdom. Despite the strong parallels with classic painting techniques, Anderson uses distorted logic and only a slight observance of the laws of physics in presenting his work. This builds certain uneasiness in the frame of his images, suggesting chaos and only minimal order, a feeling that is often yearned for in our modern youth culture.
