Leidy Churchman in ‘Sputterances’ at Metro Pictures

Leidy Churchman’s carefully arranged giraffes in the group exhibition ‘Sputterances’ at Metro Pictures categorize nature into manageable options, here, small, medium and large. Titled ‘Free Delivery,’ the painting equates the animals with product consumption, coincidently offering a provocative comment on the huge on-line audience that watched April the giraffe give birth to a calf in an upstate animal park in recent weeks. (In Chelsea through April 22nd).
