I have painted my fair share of ears over the years but my latest one is a little different and it’s about to make its debut at the FLAG Art Foundation in NYC.

My first painting of 2026 titled Reclining Nude features an ear with a little more context and a lot left to the imagination. It will be included in the exhibition S-Curve at The FLAG Art Foundation from February 12-April 25, 2026. The exhibition in its own words “brings together artworks from the 18th century to present day that reflect on the human body in an active state of repose. Encompassing an array of eras, media and formal approaches, the exhibition illustrates the elasticity of an art historical trope and underscores the complexities and possibilities present in contemporary depictions of the body.”

My little 3” x 5” oil painting will be in good company among the names of Gustav Klimt, Maurizio Cattelan, Louise Bonnet and Giovanni Battista Piazzetta among others. Yes you read that correctly.

I can’t wait to see it come together.
