Amber Boardman’s ‘Dude’ reviewed by Artforum
Amber Boardman’s exhibition, Dude, was reviewed by Toni Ross for the October issue of Artforum:
“Though a still life typically represents inanimate objects, those populating Boardman’s paintings incarnate a fleshy, scintillating, or morphing vitality familiar from cartoon animation. These pictures speak as much of the artist flaunting the visceral materiality of oil paint as of a dude hopelessly torn between disciplined and excessive drives. Rather than simply excoriating twenty-first-century lifestyle fads and consumerist churn, Boardman’s smart, visually diverting, relatable paintings squeeze equal measures of satire and pathos from the life world we all currently negotiate.”
