After complaining that she could paint her signature subject matter – little girls behaving badly – blindfolded, that’s just what Kim Dingle did to create the work in her recent series. Using her hand as a guide, Dingle maps out characters like these from memory in oil on Plexiglas. Here, two slightly sinister looking girls, drawn with fluidity and proportions reminiscent of Mickey Mouse, exchange compliments on each others’ wild hair. (On view at Sperone Westwater Gallery on the Lower East Side through March 3rd).
