The Hole's exhibition features Samantha Rosenwald's works which transform a pinball dive bar into a colorful exploration of loneliness and identity. Her artistic rendition showcases fragmented patrons, emphasizing disconnection despite a crowded atmosphere. Rosenwald utilizes vintage pinball machine aesthetics for her pieces, creating a psychological funhouse that gamifies personal experiences. Each artwork becomes a visual commentary wrapped in detailed, immersive environments, enhancing the viewing experience. The interplay of cultural branding and personal symbolism further deepens the exploration of social dynamics in a uniquely invented space, blurring reality and imagination.
Though it appears playful, Rosenwald's chosen medium-colored pencil-is anything but easy. "There's a performative element to it," she says. "Each mark is visible."
Rosenwald builds a psychological funhouse, a self-portrait by way of pinball cabinet. The show is deeply immersive and eerily cohesive.
