Jesse McCloskey

Christopher Henry Gallery

550 W 29th St

Join us as we celebrate our first solo exhibition of New York-based contemporary artist Jesse McCloskey. In The Beast in the Beauty, McCloskey explores the dark narratives of the subconscious. The dreamlike landscapes, full of disturbing, sexually charged images, are reminiscent of the Surrealists. Multifarious and darkly perverse, the works possess a mythical, almost allegorical quality. Suggestion and allusion paint a dark poetic vision where scissors, sharp teeth, and empty liquor bottles tell a disorienting tale of psychic transformation that leaves the viewer wondering which is the monster, where is the monster, and who fears who?
