"GRITTY IN PINK"
at Bailey Contemporary Arts
Co-Curated with Megan Castellon
Defying the traditional notion that pink represents delicate, saccharine depictions of femininity, these artists embrace subversive and clever uses of the color. Pink is instead presented to embody strength through bold and often confrontational aesthetics, whether through abstraction with aggressive textures and brushwork, or through conceptual, humorous, ironic, or subversive and symbolic imagery.
