Kathleen Henderson‘s oil-stick drawings crudely and colorfully convey a sense of contemporary alienation. Even when they are full of people, a sense of isolation prevails. Her latest body of work opening this Saturday at Rosamund Felsen “confronts head-on the financial sector and its place in a system of gross inequalities; the excess and waste of massively expensive and tragically useless trophy projects, or ‘white elephants’; and a profiteering pharmaceutical industry that is moving beyond marketing drugs to humans and setting their sights on neurotic and depressed domestic animals as well.”
