Dangerous Women

Dangerous Women, the summer show at DFN Gallery, NYC.
Although it sounds like the lurid title of a Jim Thompson crime novel, Dangerous Women is curated within the tradition of female figure painting, photography and cinema - where even the tamest representation of the female form can be a loaded image. While a few of the images exhibited are more obviously "dangerous" or risqué as in Alyssa Monk's Press, or Heather Morgan's Hello Kitty, none are passive and most run askew if not counter, to the literal meaning of dangerous women.
