Slapstick

Ball & Socket Arts, Cheshire, CT
January 11–March 16, 2025

Installation at The Workshop Gallery

Silver Surfer and Metropolitan Rainbow at The Workshop Gallery

Slapstick is a physical type of humor involving play, exaggeration and activities which may exceed the boundaries of common sense. In Slapstick, each of the artists included explores abstraction in a highly personal way with a sense of play and experimentation, both in process and in materials. The work included is unpretentiously formal, borrowing aesthetic attributes from Pop Art. This work successfully exudes the fun and delight of creation.
