JAY DEFEO / ALTER EGO
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco
(see times)
12 September - 10 October; Reception 12 September 4-6 pm; Gallery Hours Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat: 10 am - 5:30 pm; Thurs: 11 am - 7 pm
An exhibition of 55 paintings, photographs, collages and drawings - 46 of which have never been exhibited before - traces relationships between pairs or groups of works, examining ideas of the yin yang in Jay DeFeo's oeuvre.
JAY DEFEO / ALTER EGO includes groups of works from various series that exhibit her penchant for creating related works - twins, if you will. Some dopplegangers come from within the same series, others are from different periods or are made in radically different ways. She'd cannibalize her own works - fragmenting them, collaging with them or re-photographing them. Each iteration is a playful investigation of formal motifs and the sensuality of art-making materials.
