FRANCESCA LO RUSSO at 31 GRAND Gallery until March 15

Exhibition Description:

Francesca Lo Russo’s new paintings, are where humanity lolls in nightmarish landscapes, doomed to the indifference of the universe or fellow man’s own terrible potential. Figures sunbathe, hold hands, become deluged in music, or drink champagne, seeming painfully still and almost unaffected by their broken, doomed environments. The artist paints with assiduous detail, seeming to fill a compulsive need to cover every square inch of her surfaces with information. Lo Rosso's resulting images read something like film stills, where narratives are implied but are ambiguous, frozen.

Education and Training:

Francesca Lo Russo completed the vast majority of these new works in an intense three month period of isolation in an attic in Texas. She is self taught as an artist and lives in Brooklyn.
