Adrian Ghenie is a well known Romanian artist, who lives and works in Cluj and in Berlin. New Paintings is his first U.S. gallery exhibition and it features a group of paintings from his "Pie Fight" series. In them, he combines episodes of Nazi history with the slapstick trope of a pie fight, "the thick impasto of paint serving as the filling that obscures the subject's face." Here are some pictures from the show. Enjoy!
"Bland"? Wow, look again.
