NYAB Event - Amy Wilson "The Myth of Loneliness"

Amy Wilson "The Myth of Loneliness"

BravinLee Programs

This event has ended.

"The Myth of Loneliness," Amy Wilson’s first exhibition with the gallery, featurs new books and drawings. Amy Wilson has developed an ensemble cast of child-like female characters inhabiting a storybook-like world. These lithe, nearly identically dressed girls morph into several manifestations of the artist's voice as they communicate their thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams through text. In each scene, the characters tackle diverse subjects such as politics, art, science, and metaphysics; however, an overarching theme of the struggle between individual will versus political conscience seems to be present. The text is confessional, intellectual, psychological, topical, and diaristic.
