April 12 – May 20, 2012
Opening reception: Saturday, April 14, 4 – 7 pm

Every successful artist hones a few survival skills in the course of their career and Victoria Behm has amassed quite a few. Her first solo exhibit at the 440 Gallery is an eclectic display of Behm’s multiple artistic obsessions. There are several distinct bodies of work here, all highly developed aspects of her complex practice. From elegant grid paintings in encaustic and oil on canvas, to quirky pen and ink drawings, and giant skeleton figures resembling Day of the Dead imagery, her work chronicles a diverse range of life experienced in New York City and summers in Mexico.
