Ghada Amer Exhibition

21 May 2010, Posted by Kylie in events, 0 Comments

Ghada Amer creates dynamic large scale “paintings” by stitching thread on canvas. The thread drippings from afar appear as abstract art. At closer inspection one can abstract images that explore the cultural role of women and sexuality. Her work is simultaneously playful and poignant. I saw an exhibit of her work at the Brooklyn Museum of Art two years ago and was deeply inspired. I highly recommend checking out her current exhibit at Cheim & Read, 547 W. 25th St., which runs through 6/19.
