Drawing People

Join us tonight at the Drawing Center! In celebration of Drawing People, the Drawing Center's Brett Litmann will appear in conversation with artists Chloe Piene and Moscow-born Dasha Shishkin, whose "We Are Not Afraid for Comparable Lives" (2011) is featured here. (Signing to follow.) Drawing People author Roger Malbert cites Shishkin's "loose, splashy technique" and "wildly perverse imagery, a febrile blend of Toulouse Lautrec and Henry Darger, executed with the spontaneous energy of the Surrealist Matta." An emphatic colorist and the daughter of a puppeteer, Shishkin often includes the character Pinocchio in her "phantasmagorical scenes of decadent society women partying in brilliantly lit, lavish interiors, their noses and nipples sprouting phallic extensions as they feast on dishes of dismembered body parts."
