Artemis Greenberg Van Doren Gallery is pleased to present a thematic group exhibition of paintings and works on paper titled She’s Come Undone, organized by artist and curator Augusto Arbizo. On view from June 3 – July 16, 2004, the exhibition features several generations of artists from different backgrounds – including NY, LA, Miami, Paris, Tokyo, London, and Berlin - working in the figurative genre.

Featuring a dynamic group of thirty-two artists, She’s Come Undone focuses on current trends in contemporary figuration – from staged studio portraits and romantic pastiche to more photo and film inspired works. A strong dedication to the craft of painting – particularly the modeling of form through the use of light, color, and drawing – is evident in all the artists’ works. Many feature traditional format single figures in imagined theatrical settings or situations. Other works present the human form as abstracted, fragmented, or decorated. Figures and groupings become narratives – fictional and otherwise.

She’s Come Undone is less a selective survey of recent figuration and more an inclusive sampling of the genre’s many possibilities - as well as of painting itself. The exhibition features new and recent work – from ‘portraits’ by Glenn Brown, Ann Craven, Kehinde Wiley, Mika Kato, and Richard Wathen to fête galantes by Holly Coulis and Philippe Perrot. Works by younger artists such as Jeff Sonhouse, Lothar Hempel, and Wangechi Mutu feature stylized and abstracted figures, while those by Edward del Rosario, Jenny Scobel, Nuno de Campos and Kurt Kauper are more straightforward and contemplative.

Artemis Greenberg Van Doren Gallery is located at 730 5th Avenue at 57th Street, NY, 10019. Summer Hours: Monday – Friday, 10 AM to 5:30 PM. For more information, please contact the gallery at 212.445.0444.
