From the EVG inbox...Walter Robinson: Indulgences
Recent Paintings & Works on Paper Exhibition: March 1-31
Reception: tonight, 6-9
Dorian Grey Gallery is pleased to present "Walter Robinson: Indulgences," a solo exhibition of new paintings and works on paper.
Robinson's work visualizes the idea of indulgence, both in terms of contemporary consumer appetites and in reference to the religious practice by which sins can be forgiven. Using a straightforward illustrative style, he presents pop culture images of cheeseburgers, alcoholic beverages and other comestibles, as well as pin-ups (both female and male), pharmaceutical products, portraits of celebrities, and paperback images of romance and drama.
Walter Robinson was born in 1950 and has lived in New York City since 1968. He has a long career as an art critic and editor, co-founding "Art- Rite" magazine in the 1970s, serving as news editor for "Art in America" magazine in the 1980s and early '90s, and as founding editor of "Artnet Magazine" from 1996 to 2012.
