PURPLE NURPLE :: Neil Bender

02.11.2012

Neil Bender’s work in PURPLE NURPLE is an all-oil, splattered and patterned investigation into situations, atmospheres, still-lives, daydreams, and bodies all caught up in a thick, humid, and seductive flatness. The paintings take both pre-packaged and idiosyncratic fantasies limbo of pop culture, butting up against actual experience and the wonderfully soupy problems this presents–both as images and moralities.
