Jean-Pierre Villafañe “Outside and Aching” On view at ATM Gallery through October 9, 2022 Provocatively lifted skirts, ambiguously interwoven limbs, and sensually exposed flesh all testify to the artist’s familiarly ambiguous visual language. The play of entangled bodies imbues these paintings with implicit eroticism and invites the viewer into the space as willing participant, following the limbs of one figure only to be guided to another, losing oneself in the compositions much like one loses oneself in the city. These arranged and rearranged bodies create a system of bodily disarticulation whose unstable nature only works to destabilize the viewer. Image: Jean-Pierre Villafañe Alleyway, 2022
