About the Item
An original oil on paper by contemporary artist Bruce Adams from his Fish and Bicycles series. This work is currently part of an exhibition at Benjaman Gallery "Over the Fence".
This piece comes framed in an archival natural wood frame presentation.
The Fish and Bicycle series employs a similar strategy as my Men at Work series. This time the subject matter includes both men and women (exhibited in pairs) representing a range of gender identities. The title is derived from Irina Dunn’s witty statement (often erroneously attributed to Gloria Steinem), “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” The metaphoric use of a variety of bicycles and fish add layers – figuratively and literally – to the complex relationship between the figures when viewed collectively.
These works examine the nature of masculinity and femininity in a society where an all-pervasive concept of beauty and power permeates popular culture and art in ways that create self-perpetuating societal myths. With these paintings I beg the question: “Just what is male and female?”
