Best Sculptural Painting Show

"Pinky," Amelia Briggs

Amelia Briggs has become synonymous with her cotton-candy palette and her “inflatable” paintings that might also be categorized as soft sculptures. Briggs’ March exhibition at Elephant Gallery, Moppet, found the artist inspired by the storefront space’s reputation for creative experimenting. Briggs outfitted the gallery like some near-future living room with a shaggy blue rug, with her already super-weird works blown-up to an absurd scale on the walls. She even fashioned one of the pieces into a Cronenberg-esque coffee table — a sick green arachnid decorated with tufts of purple fur. JOE NOLAN
