MALESCAPES
Landscapes and Mindscapes by Male Contemporary Artists:
Do men perceive the world differently? As gallery directors we often hear the comment, “that work is very masculine.” What does that mean?
We decided to explore this question by inviting five male artists to contribute paintings of landscapes, either of the external world or of their own internal landscape (a “mindscape,” if you will), and the result was this bold, powerful exhibition, which we have entitled “Malescapes.” The artists’ work varies in style, form, color, texture, geography and mood…but is there a unifying theme of masculinity? And, if so, what exactly is it that makes these work masculine? We look forward to hearing the viewers’ opinions.
