JONATHAN MEESE, HOT EARL GREEN SAUSAGE TEA BARBIE (FIRST FLUSH) AT THE BORTOLAMI GALLERY, NEW YORK
For his third solo exhibition with Bortolami Gallery, the German artist Jonathan Meese offers viewers a glimpse into his candid and aggressive world as he navigates the role of an artist and man. The raw power of Meese‘s creations inflitrates the entire gallery space with as a mixed media explosion of sculpture, painting, photographs and wooden structures fights for viewers’ attention. Meese‘s work is a kind of personal revolution rejecting convention and using a visual language as his weapon. Hot Earl Green Sausage Tea Barbie (First Flush) is on view through 23rd December 2011 at the Bortolami Gallery, 520 W 20th Street, New York.
