Ashley Bickerton at Lehmann Maupin

This gruesome, one-eyed, blue cigarette bedecked creature with perfect teeth could be the patron deity of Bali-based Ashley Bickerton’s portraits of crazed hedonists.  At over seven feet high, the sheer profusion of color and ornament – from her bottle cap necklace to paint-smeared coral – is impressive.  (At Lehmann Maupin’s Lower East Side location through April 20th)
