Description
Opens June 5, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PMSilverman Gallery is pleased to announce “Enduring Patiently,” an exhibition of new work by Yuval Pudik. The artist’s second solo show at Silverman gallery features his lucidly rendered graphite on paper drawings, as well as a series of limited edition prints.
A reference to the Book of Revelations, “Enduring Patiently” speaks to the Judeo-Christian tradition of suffering and martyrdom, an idea Pudik utilizes to interrogate archetypes of masculine authority. This body of work draws from the rich pageantry of European courtly dress, developing the artist’s meditation on the body, social costuming, and the shifting of identity. Delving into a darker topography, Pudik engages questions of confinement and restriction through his detailed renderings of monarchs—male figures laden with historically charged accoutrements of mastery.
