Join us from 6 to 8pm today, September 22, for the opening of "Groomed," an exhibition of seven new paintings by Bea Scaccia, at Gagosian, Park & 75, New York. The second in a series of solo presentations by different artists curated by Francesco Bonami, it is Scaccia’s debut exhibition with the gallery.
Incorporating an array of deliberately clashing textures and garish colors, the collections of objects in the works on view come together to approximate faceless bodies and puppetlike limbs that are sheathed in fishnet tights, positioned as if in arrested motion. These partially formed figures appear to attempt activities—sitting, reclining, reading, climbing, and exercising—that they cannot quite complete: https://on.gagosian.com/4Ay0FOS
