Overview
The first comprehensive monograph on this leading American contemporary figurative painter
Spinneret draws inspiration from the eponymous silk-producing organ that spiders use to weave their webs. Anthony Cudahyās figurative paintings tenderly piece together enigmatic scenes of specific objects and equivocal environments from interwoven references drawn from queer archives, art history, film, poetry, friends, and autobiography.Ā
Plate sections feature brief written reflections on Cudahyās themes, style, and motifs from fellow artists and writers Ian Lewandowski, Paul Legault, Anna Glantz, Philemona Williamson, Lily Wong, Justin Liam OāBrien, Billy Sullivan, John Belknap, and Elizabeth Glaessner.Ā
Spinneret spans the last half-decade of Cudahyās career to date, including brand new work, and unpacks his richly layered artistic practice. Organized by five artistic themes ā slippages, allegories, fragments, figures, spaces ā it captures the ongoing push and pull, conceptually and materially, across the artistās practice.Ā
