Presentation Details
Allouche Benias will dedicate a solo presentation to the painter Tom Rees. With an offhand, stream-of-consciousness style, Rees echoes automatic writing and drawing practices. His caustic visual lexicon draws on noir, art brut and muralism, often freezing his subjects in positions of compromise or defeat. Cartoonish everymen wander lost in the landscape or lie trampled in the dirt, alternately floating and drowning in swampy water. In Rees’s hands, however, the atmosphere of threat also serves to raise a laugh, harboring an implicit social satire.
