Hernan Bas at the Brooklyn Museum

Deep. Not really, but that's sort of the point. I think there is something magical in the intentional(?) naivety of Bas's works. There is something similar in Elizabeth Payton's work as well; it's almost as if their technical superficiality acts as a foil for something deeper, something closer to the subconscious. They whisper instead of yelling, and they don't vie for your attention because they don't need it. Their world persists long after you stop looking, and, today, that's a rare quality.
