Artwork Description:
A portrait of a middle-aged man, seated on a bed within the liminal space of a garage, channels the persona of Larry Gagosian, art dealer. Nicholaas Chiao was a frequent visitor to his Chelsea gallery, which occupied the former garage. Executed in a sketch-like manner, the work allows cubist geometries to fracture and reassemble the sitter’s visage, foregrounding the constructed nature of identity within the art world.
