Inmates and Others

Ida Applebroog

Oct 13 – Nov 24, 1984

Ida Applebroog

Your Eggs Are Getting Cold, 1983

Description

Applebroog's new work deals with Inmates and, metaphorically, with the concept that we are al I inmates. Using her minimalist figures, she establishes the pervasiveness of this theme In dealing with the underlying similarities between the Inmates of "total Institutions" (hospitals, homes for the aged) and the rest of us, who are Inmates of relationships, social structures and the work place. In doing so, she destroys the boundaries between the usual media stereotypes - laughing children, macho men, contented housewives - and the world of the lonely, the old, the poor. Simultaneously, there Is an edge of humor in her work - sometimes sharp and biting, but frequently subversive In its deadpan approach. Her paintings present people engaged in private, every-day actions, with successive layerings of vaguely related and seemingly faml liar Images. Through their deceptive simplicity, her characters emerge as symbolic Icons of our world.
