Artist reception on Saturday, May 3, 2025, 4 to 6 pm.
A brilliant interpreter of the everyday, Chast’s artworks depict neuroses, hilarity, angst, and domesticity and are loaded with words, objects, and patterns. Chast addresses the issues of the modern age: guilt, anxiety, aging, families, friends, money, real estate, and much more. Her characters, ranging from her famous “everyfolk” to adapted nursery rhymes or animals, incorporate her wit and distinctive style.
In addition to her cartoons, Chast has incorporated her cast of recurring characters into other media. This exhibition will include her most recent drawings for the New Yorker, along several new embroideries and the long awaited new pysanky eggs.
