O-Town House is excited to announce the Jools Rothblatt (b. 1991, Los Angeles) exhibition BERSERKER!. These new paintings move with a kind of unruly precision – figures and gestures slipping between intimacy and exaggeration, as if held just at the edge of coherence. Their surfaces feel both casual and exacting, where humor and unease quietly cohabitate. What emerges is less an image than a mood: volitile, tender, and slightly out of control.
"I am stronger than two horses! You all know that when I bend an iron bar with my teeth, it is for real. Iron! But, even I cannot fight what I cannot see. The fighter lays a blow to his own cheek. Then another. Then another. Self-flagellation is it! Perfect aggression! Chaos! Still at the drawing board but
bursting at the seams, this is the constant agony of context! I thought isolation was enough! Here we all are, so ornate in our garments but mostly wet with blood."
