Alexandra Posen

Red Hook artist Alexandra Posen creates a variety of fascinating works but I suggest diving in first with her wax drawing series Fields. There's a beautiful grotesqueness to the organic shapes and colors of every piece that is both appealing and oddly offputting at the same time. Granted, the allure outweighs the other feelings but it's like looking at a slide of organic matter that's been through some distress.

Also, be sure to watch the Quietudes piece. It's every bit as intimate and organic as the paintings but even more immersive due to its moving parts. Lovely.
