Cameron Hayes 'Tattles' Exhibition At Ronald Feldman In New York (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 04/29/11 06:18 PM ET   Updated: 06/29/11 06:12 AM ET

Be prepared to get lost in Cameron Hayes' paintings. In his new exhibition, 'Tattles,' Hayes uses intricate and fantastical imagery to chronicle our contemporary times in the tradition of Hieronymus Bosch. He combines absurd scenarios and cartoon-like figures in order to effectively narrate stories of madness and ruthlessness.


Cameron Hayes, Tattles, Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, 31 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10013, through May 7, 2011.

I'd like to see these first hand, properly lit.

Something is reminiscent in several of these not only of Bosch but of Gustav Klimt.

Interesting............we've just seen multiple HUGE pix of the royal wedding, ( the gown was beautiful as was Kate Middleton, but 1 or 2 pix would have sugfficed.
In Style, FLOTUS is always blown up.............
That these images with their incredible mutitudes of details, are too small to really see, no way to enlarge them, makes a sweeping statement about the importance of ART in the USA! This is a large part of the problem!
10 years ago I was inspired to paint the contemporary scene, as inspired by Bosch...........but, after researching it thinking about it, it didn't resonate with me & I followed a different artistic track. So I am fascinated to see that another Artist has embraced the concept. Wish I could see
them better!

From a brief scan of these small images it is clear that Valazquez doesn't so much 'narrate' as he does proselytize. The work is both beautiful and technically brilliant but his message mirrors 1980's muralists in its revolutionary dogmatism.
