De Buck Gallery is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition by Los Angeles-based painter Kelly Reemtsen, entitled Smashing. The exhibition will be on view at the gallery from October 8 to November 14, with an opening reception to be held on October 8 from 6-8 PM.

In Smashing, Reemtsen builds upon the motif of daintily dressed women yielding tools and household equipment that she is best known for, in an exploration of the idea of “breaking the glass ceiling.” A concern with what constitutes the modern woman and the breaching of traditional gender roles, which can be traced throughout Reemtsen’s body of work, also informs these newest paintings. Stylized by a thick impasto and a bright, cheerful color palette, the works juxtapose the feminine in the form of the fashionable (and anonymous) figures, with the masculine, often aggressive, items, such as sledgehammers, axes, and chainsaws.
