Girls Brigade: Work by Judith G. Levy

Opening Reception:

Friday, September 28th, 6-9pm

Show Runs:

September 28 - October 27, 2007

Judith Levy’s drawings and paintings explore larger social constructs, where disorder and anxiety lurk beneath appearances of normalcy and convention. In her current body of work, she has created imagery with its own fictional history and narrative, a group of girls who belong to a children’s army know as the Girls Brigade. These girls are the central characters in Levy’s drawings, paintings and mixed media installations. By incorporating humor with imagery that evokes historical references to groups whose ideologies provoked discord and mayhem Levy creates work that is at once whimsical and disturbing.
