ARTISTS
Sophie Crumb & Aline Kominsky-Crumb
DCKT Contemporary is pleased to present recent drawings by SOPHIE CRUMB and ALINE KOMINSKY-CRUMB, the first time mother and daughter have exhibited together. Their works present observations on present-day womanhood, fluctuating from affable to sardonic.
SOPHIE CRUMB鈥檚 watercolor and ink works originate in a purposefully removed place of observation and contemplation: the fashion magazine. Images of models are rendered in harsh colors and exaggerated angles, with CRUMB鈥檚 technique de-idealizing what is being 鈥渟old.鈥� The results are borderline grotesque, pointing up manufactured glamour with dark humor.
ALINE KOMINSKY-CRUMB鈥檚 works originate in action, participation and performance: the personal makeover. Endeavoring to understand the desire of some women to remain 鈥渇orever鈥� younger looking, KOMINSKY-CRUMB underwent a strip-mall beauty parlor transformation at Hair Magic in North Miami Beach, Florida. The resulting self-portraits and drawings of people she met there evince a humorous vulnerability and absurdity.
