On April 19th, I visited the Whitney Museum of American Art with Multi Arts TRaC (the Teen Reviewers and Critics) to explore the “Whitney Biennial 2012″. There were a variety of interesting pieces but only a few stood out to me.
Nicole Eisenman‘s exhibition was very deep and explicit. One of the monotypes that caught my eye was one of a man taking a shower in the blood of a naked woman who is lying above him as she stabs herself in the head with a knife. This monotype (as the rest of her monotypes in the exhibition) was inspired by a bad relationship and feminism. This monotype consisted of mostly dark colors such as black, gray and a fainted red at the bottom. The women is obviously sad or depressed that she is resorting to hurting herself and the man is gladly showering in her misery. Perhaps the man hurt the women but does not care for her suffering.
