Rabid Heart is currently featured on artforum.com’s “Must-See Shows” list, our editors' selection of essential exhibitions worldwide.
Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to announce Rabid Heart, an exhibition by Philadelphia-based artist Coady Brown. This exhibition marks the artist’s second solo show with the gallery, on view from April 8 through May 13, 2023.
Coady Brown’s paintings are grounded in a careful awareness of the politics inherent to depicting feminine and androgynous figures. Committed to methods of representation that shield figures from the binds of voyeurism and over-determination, the paintings presented in Rabid Heart hone the artist’s long-standing commitment to depicting wholly autonomous figures, cultivating and preserving an interior psychology impermeable to the viewer and artist alike. Rabid Heart celebrates the uninhibited passion, verve, and power these figures retain, regardless of those watching
