Among the slate of early winter shows this year, Broadway Gallery’s “Me, Lately,” an offering of new paintings by Andrew Kuo, was a highlight amid the downtown scene. The vibrant and cerebral offerings span the artist’s sense of humor, affinity for cultural references, and propensity for self-reflection.
Tucked below the paintings with layers of jagged circles, the viewer finds that they are, in fact, looking at pie graphs. In the work Things I Could Be we see several slices: “optimistic,” “pessimistic,” “right but sad,” “wrong but happy.”
