Wally Workman Gallery: You Should Smile, Darlin'
In this new body of work, local pigment-wielding phenom Ian Shults focuses on the dynamic between the patriarchy and feminism, his figures idealized, revered, empowered, feared. It's a vivid, staggered exploration of our current culture – and the artist’s role as a white male figurative painter within it.Through Feb. 24 -
