CURRENT EXHIBITION \| PAST EXHIBITIONS
This Must Be The Place - Joyce Pensato October 20 - November 20, 2006 Parker's Box is very proud to present This Must Be The Place, an exhibition of new works by Joyce Pensato. After participating in numerous group shows at Parker's Box (including Tennewpaintings, Ecstasy2X3, and Phoenix NY), as well as producing installations for Parker's International Art Market (IAM5!), and her experimental solo photo project: Wigged and Wild!, this will be Joyce Pensato's first solo exhibition of new works at the gallery. Joyce Pensato has become well known for her freshly gestural drawings and paintings of cartoon figures, based on a wide-ranging and motley family of familiar faces mostly drawn from an American roster of well-known characters. The artist's feverish brushstrokes transform, metamorphose, dissect, deconstruct, and analyze her models. Like all good analysts, Joyce Pensato has amassed experience and knowledge from every session spent in the company of her huge collection of long-suffering soft-toy sitters. Thus, her ostensibly lackadaisical, unfettered expressions become evermore knowing and penetrating, and the artist is always able to astonish by surpassing herself with each body of work.
