JIM DRAIM
Greene Naftali Gallery is pleased to present the second New York solo exhibition by Jim Drain. Drain continues his merger of psychedelic formalism with the irreverent critique of pop culture common to subcultural art. By pushing these styles to their extremes, he denotes the hallucinogenic character of the international consumer world and its affect on human bodies.
In this new show, Drain considers Iggy Pop; his animalistic energy and pop clichserving as the formal and conceptual basis for four large-scale sculptures, collages, photographs of Iggy’s old clothes and specific formal interventions to the gallery space—a net that cages half of the gallery, toilet seat furniture and a wallpaper installation.
