Jane Fine's Battlefield IV featured in MELT exhibition at Tang Museum
At Skidmore's Tang Art Museum in Saratoga Springs, New York, there's a group exhibition called MELT that features Jane Fine's painting Battlefield IV from 2004. Curated by Rachel Seligman, the exhibition includes pieces from renowned artists like Salvador Dali, Bernard Cohen, and Mary Frank, among others, along with some prints from the museum’s collection. The theme of the show focuses on ambiguity rather than straightforward transformation, which has raised some eyebrows. Fine’s acrylic piece showcases an abstract landscape filled with flat patches of gray, pink, green, and blue, overlaid with ink drawings in blue, black, and red that hint at themes of humor and violence. You can check it out until September 18, 2011, at 815 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.
