The neo-classical reimagined: Go inside Gregg LeFevre's new solo exhibition in SoHo | amNewYork
Briefly

Gregg LeFevre's exhibition at DTR Modern Galleries presents a contemporary reimagining of the classical ideals epitomized by The Three Graces. Through his mixed-media wall reliefs, LeFevre explores the transformation of these mythological figures, which symbolize charm, creativity, and joy, by distorting their form. His work, termed Wrinks, challenges perceptions of beauty and truth in representation within the context of today's digital age. It engages viewers in a discourse on the essence of legacy in Western sculpture, as it collides with modern notions of identity and artistry.
LeFevre's Three Graces are no longer pristine; they are cropped, wrinkled, and reconfigured, with disruption becoming their agency—reanimated through distortion and layered symbolism.
The exhibition transcends aesthetics, serving as a meditation on classical ideals refracted through contemporary consciousness, provoking thought on the legacy of Western sculpture.
LeFevre’s work serves as both formal experimentation and philosophical metaphor, compelling us to question truth in representation amid our current cultural moment.
This body of work is not merely beautiful, but ontological provocations that collapse time and question perception in a digital age.
