Andy Cahill “Home”

Safe Gallery

This event has ended.

Safe Gallery presents a new body of work from Brooklyn-based artist, Andy Cahill. This will be the first solo show to be presented at the gallery.

Cahill’s layered, prismatic fine lines swell into kaleidoscopic imagery of perverse domesticity. The artist applies a mixture of urethane paint via plastic squeeze bottles, creating a compilation of marks that seem to hover on the canvas. In a flick of Cahill’s wrist, clouds of paint splatter and curl into cartoonish, twisted scenery. Familiar yet strange settings fill each picture plane- a stern figure at a morphing dinner table; a house that grows ears; and a smoker who blows puff out of a shirt sleeve. Menacing characters are consistent in Cahill’s work, exposing the darkness and vulnerability of the male psyche.
