"Breaking Plates and Flying Dogs"
August 9 - August 15, 2008
Reception for the Artist:
Saturday, August 9th, 4-7pm
Lauren Clark Fine Art announces the opening of a one man show “Breaking Plates & Flying Dogs”, paintings and drawings by New York City based artist, Geoffrey Moss.
The show focuses on lively, colorful images of overstuffed furniture with and without dancers/acrobats, both human and canine. Moss’s playful style is loose, flowing, painterly; absolutely his own.
Of this work Moss says “I first became intrigued with Chinese acrobat “furniture” while watching Chinese cable TV a couple of years ago in my New York studio. At once, those pieces had the solid appearance of familiar domesticity. However, all was actually reconfigured furniture of the absurd: upholstered, fringed, tasseled, for one purpose, to cradle acrobats juggling teacups, dogs, tables and each other; fascinating, because these were vibrant platforms of performance; essentially, art enabling art. If these “silk sofas” were to share space in a traditional living room, that would be a place of tangible insanity, a salon gone mad.
The show opens August 9th and continues through September 15th. There will be a reception for the artist Saturday, August 9th from 4-7pm.
