John Calendo The model sits before us in the formal pose of an Egyptian Pharoah.The painting behind him, which seems vaguely like a lyrical Impressionist landscape, is joyfully askew. The wires and rechargers criss-crossing on our left balanced by the muted simplicity of a small lamp on the end table cinches it for me. This is post-Modernism at its best. Despite his archaic pose, the model is not presented in an ironic fashion, but is noble, arresting.
	Heather Corinna Is that David Hockney?
	Jim Buck It's not the minimalism to which I object. It's the fact that this poor deluded soul (a) inhabits an apartment wired by people too lazy to put outlets at baseboard height, and (b) thought this pic would entice potential AOL-fuckbuddies to his Spartan boudoir.
	David K This is a wonderful interior. Art, to me, always involves audacity, and to have the balls to hang that picture that way above the couch deserves applause. The plugs and wires have a Frankensteinian charm, too. The Cezzane-like oranges on the right help anchor the triangular effect (another Cezzanish theme) which the painting brings into high relief. This is a beautiful disaster. I love it.
