John Goodrich reviews the recent exhibition Brett Bigbee: Recent Paintings at Alexandre Gallery, New York.
Goodrich writes: "The discrepancy between technique and expression is one of the fascinating paradoxes of art. Who would think that Ingres' corseted technique could lead to such expansive descriptions? ... Like Ingres, Brett Bigbee brings formidable rendering skills to idiosyncratic figure paintings."
