Marrow Sucker
Molly Segal with Luna Anaïs Gallery
Luna Anaïs Gallery presents in collaboration with Wönzimer: Marrow Sucker, a show of new and recent paintings by Molly Segal
Molly Segal’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, Marrow Sucker, presents the artist’s most recent watercolor paintings on paper. Revealing hidden beauty in her dystopian visions, bones, thistles, and migrating birds punctuate landscapes depleted and scarred by industry and drought while other more abstracted figures in brighter hues explore the human psyche as it grapples with surrounding devastation. What is the Marrow Sucker? According to Segal “there is something both decadent and desperate about sucking the marrow. It’s squeezing every pleasure out of life while literally picking at bones, sucking them dry.”
