Anatomy of Desire, Sarah Allen Eagen’s debut solo exhibition in New York City, presents new drawing, painting, sculpture, and collage from the artist’s cross- disciplinary art practice. Eagen explores the human body as both physical surface and psychological landscape – a locus of contradictory physical and sensory experience that refuses to resolve into a linear narrative. This new work focuses on the tension between the artificial and the real, comfort and discomfort, the stunning and the grotesque. Eagen presents the moment when these distinctions dissolve. We witness a bodily form quivering on the knife’s edge of seduction and repulsion, and must navigate this charged psychological space.

On view: February 15 – March 1, 2015
