Kate Pane "I SCREAM/YOU SCREAM"

Mallick Williams & Co

This event has ended.

Mallick Williams & Co. Gallery presents I SCREAM/YOU SCREAM with new paintings by Kate Pane. During this past Miami Art Basel the gallery previewed an oversized outdoor installation of Pane’s work at The Shore Club. The artist is following up her Basel debut with her first solo exhibition.

Pane’s paintings focus on the transitional stage when childhood turns into teenage years, a time while facing forthcoming growth there is the inclination to remain innocent. The exhibition’s title I SCREAM/YOU SCREAM best represents this period. The popular rant is learned while growing up, sung over and over in unison until satisfied. Though it is known between every boy and girl, there are other parts of young adolescence that remain secretive. This explorative age quickly leads to unknown exploitations. Curiosities turn into lustful discoveries, with screams of desires emerging from all delights - both pure and profane. More wonderment than perversion, this time of life is exciting and fully romantic notions.

Spread over the gallery’s entirety, I SCREAM/YOU SCREAM is both whimsical and dreamlike. In the front room works on canvas evoke a child’s dizzying perspective painted with imaginative visions of ponies and figures. The back space strips away the naive fantasies of the other room. Collage works of pornographic material overlaid with girlish glitter expose the reality of aging in a world of accessibility, with the gaieties of youth diminishing.
