Dark Dreams, is a comprehensive 12 year survey of
Hugo Crosthwaite's complex drawings, opening on March 5th at
Noel-Baza Fine Art, in Little Italy.
This exhibit is in conjuction with the SDMA's exhibition of Hugo
Crosthwaite's works entitled Brutal Beauty, continuing through mid July 2010.
Crosthwaite’s solo and collective exhibitions have traveled extensively
in the United States and Mexico. His work was selected by Carter Foster
(Curator of Drawings at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art) for
inclusion in the 22nd International Juried Show at the Visual Arts Center
of New Jersey. His recent 2009 solo exhibition at Pierogi Gallery in New
York and his monumental drawing at Boffo Projects were described by the
Village Voice as "Caravaggio-like drama and edging toward surrealism, the
wondrous graphite-and charcoal scenes of urban existence-by a superb
draftsman-are like illustrations for a latter day Dante."
