Lucky DeBellevue at Feature

Lucky DeBellevue Untitled 2005 chenile and tinsel stems 98" x 109" x 101" [detail of installation]

I should have gotten an image of one of the paintings [a new medium for the artist?] included in the show at Feature, but Lucky DeBellevue's sculptures were at least as distracting as usual. Before I turned to look at the walls more carefully the gallery lights were already going off following the opening on Saturday night.

We were very lucky to aquire a small drawing by DeBellevue several years ago at a benefit, and the open lines in the large piece pictured above in detail is probably the closest I've seen any of his sculptures come to both the delicacy and the violence of that ink sketch.
