Sascha Braunig & Greg Parma Smith
Fran莽ois Ghebaly New York is proud to present a two-person exhibition of new paintings by Sascha Braunig and Greg Parma Smith.
Artists Sascha Braunig and Greg Parma Smith are meticulous image-smiths. Guided by demanding technical and conceptual methodologies, each is as interested in matters of surface, shade, and modeling as in the perceptual and ideological factors that undergird the image itself. In her work, Braunig looks to consider and critique connections between visual iconography and processes of gendered socialization or reinforcement. Tension, constraint, and other elements of visual pressure inform both the choreographies of her feminized figures and their deceptively playful environments. Parma Smith, meanwhile, draws on legacies of Op art, classical decorative arts, and a bricolage of source materials and art historical traditions in his work. Through uncanny spatiality and inventive trompe-l'艙il, he explores issues of visual representation, nonhuman space, and the perceptual and psychosomatic force that images enact on the viewer.
