Social Predation

Social Predation presents recent paintings by Buffalo-based artist George Hughes in which expressive figuration addresses the general proliferation of violence. Animals typically viewed as predatory—pit bulls, eagles, lions—are juxtaposed with personal symbols of dominance. The violence which Hughes addresses is both physical and psychological, as it is manifest between authority figures and subordinates within an oscillating and unpredictable fulcrum.
