Anna Park builds her huge charcoal pictures out of improvised, dance-like marks that slide between cartoon figures and pure abstraction, and this new series aims them at slot machines, arcade games and the promise of winning big. Born in Daegu and raised in Utah, she turns childhood games into a sharp look at the American Dream as a bet. If you like drawing with real energy and a pop-culture bite, see it before it closes.
What to expect
Expect large, mostly black-and-white canvases thick with gestural charcoal, with titles like Step Right Up, Lucky You and Happy Hour. The show fills Lehmann Maupin's 24th Street space and rewards getting close to see how the marks build up.
