DESCRIPTION:Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to announce “The Pinks 2”, the latest 
 solo exhibition by gallery artist Scott Scheidly. Comprised of thirteen new 
 vibrantly unorthodox acrylic paintings, “The Pinks 2” functions as a 
 continuation of the Florida-based artist’s exploration into the cultural 
 and social perceptions of color and symbology, while addressing how both 
 can alter the way we absorb the world around us. \n\nIn 2013, Scheidly 
 presented his first solo show with us, dubbed “The Pinks”, which was 
 showcased at our sister gallery Spoke Art. The exhibition introduced 
 Scheidly’s both shocking and hilarious re-imaginings of masculine 
 figures, throughout history and fiction alike, adorned in pink hues and 
 witty accessories. For “The Pinks 2”, Scheidly’s brand new batch of 
 superbly rendered satirical portraits incorporates various classic American 
 machismo, notorious dictators and deadly firearms, each supported by an 
 intricate and shockingly pink frame. \n\nThis month’s show features a 
 range of familiar faces, for better or worse, from Benito Mussolini to the 
 cinematic icon John Wayne. Each of Scheidly’s subjects have been noted 
 for their bravado and manliness, and in many cases their public images were 
 once highly monitored to only exude such characteristics. This was in part 
 communicated in the media through the colors and various insignia that they 
 wore. By experimenting with our preconceptions of color by way of popular 
 imagery, Scheidly challenges his viewers to react and contemplate about the 
 tension he has manifested.    \n\nWhile many of Scheidly’s paintings are 
 playful in nature, for example the candy-coated Tusken Raider from the 
 popular Star Wars franchise, others address a more serious dialogue, such 
 as Scheidly’s rendition of Vladimir Putin bearing pink furs and the pride 
 flag. This diverse group of subjects is unified under the artist’s 
 unconventional treatment of their otherwise already commanding and heavily 
 charged images. Scheidly pushes questions forward regarding power and 
 iconic propaganda that revolve around issues that still resonate to this 
 day.      \n\n“The Pinks 2” opens Saturday, October 4th with an opening 
 night reception from 6pm-10pm and will be on view through Friday, October 
 24th.\n\nFor more information, additional images, or exclusive content,
