Below a sign made of hessian and felt reading ‘Never Be Cool,’ Jonathan Baldock’s ceramic sculpture ‘She’s Sassy’ at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery obeys the message with her fiery-red color and engaged stance. Other ceramic sculptures continue the British artist’s series of colorful mask-like faces while multi-media works reference the Bremen Town musicians as human, animal hybrids. Baldock’s bodies-as-vessels continue to explore the breadth of human identity, foibles and fun included. (On view in Tribeca through Oct 11th).
