The “taking another look” line is iconic for several reasons, one being that it’s a stunning instance of Bradley’s inexplicable sex appeal—the glittering of his blue eyes to a near ludicrous extreme, and his face as worn and as chestnut as a gerascophobic Cary Grant, somehow successfully bolster this.

Denise Kupferschmidt’s minimal visual vocabulary invokes Primitivism and earlier forms of ancient iconography. Through her simple outlines, which she calls Crude Idols, Denise communicates complex ideas efficiently and instantly. “People tend to project more complicated ideas on simple forms,” she says, making work about fundamental polarities of good and evil, masculinity and femininity.

The strongest work in No Place, an exhibition of many great works, is a small oil painting depicting two Christmas presents on fire. Quintessa Matranga’s paintings are brazen, and thrillingly off-trend. Her painting Fire is like an intrusive thought, those private flashes of something wild, violent, or deeply strange, that all of us experience now and again, but never say out loud.
